embarrassing our employees in public again

You know, in nine years when we're all celebrating DW's tenth anniversary, we are going to all look back and say that hiring fu when we did was the smartest thing we could have done. Seriously: she's smart, talented, creative, and motivated, which are all highly important qualities, but the one quality she has that makes her such a brilliant hire is that she is positively gleeful about what she does (and whom she's doing it for), and that kind of enthusiasm is not only great to see, it's infectuous. I never fail to walk away from a conversation from her without feeling like this is the best project ever. The degree to which this improves my productivity cannot be measured.

So, I wanted to take a second and announce to Dreamwidth (or at least the subset of Dreamwidth that is reading my journal) that she is awesome and we made a damn good choice when we hired her. Because everyone should know that fu rocks. That is all.
