There's been some chit and chat as well as spirited arguments around the water cooler in the spacious IYWAZ tower today. It all revolved around one question: Do zombies have birthdays? Or more importantly, should we celebrate and should there be cake?
See, Phyllis from Accounting stumbled into our zombie holding pit yesterday leaving us with a quandry as well as several uncompleted expense reports. Today was her birthday and we had already bought her a cake, sent out the birthday memo, and rented one of those big dirty jugs of orange punch from McDonalds.
In the end, we decided that birthday celebrations are as much for the celebrants as they are for the person having the birthday. After all, you get a cake for everyone to share, not just one piece for the birthdayer...birthdayee...person who just got old.
So, send a card, eat some cake, indulge. You deserve it! Someone you know survived another year! .
We get plenty of comments from you, our readers, but now we're just blushing at the ovewhelmingly positive communication.
To celebrate we recently treated our entire support staff to cake (with milk!). As you can see in the photo of the joyous occasion to the left, the cake was shaped like a little village under attack from gummy zombies. We think you can see from their expressions that the entire staff was having a great time!
Some of the highlights:
Recently, reader Schimmy147 commented on the usefulness of our RSS Feeds and commenting system and had a very rewarding online conversation with our support staff:
"I'm very much interested in zombies and zombie-culture... click through just to read this valuable information" and "I think... I... stay interested in... every single word you post here about zombies..."
Zombie enthusiast and religous advocate Vertibird says:
"All hail our new zombie overlords"

Jules raves:
"Adorable! :-)"
And of course we've recieved thousands of emails from our newsletter recipients asking for more information about "unsubscribing". We've heard you! We'll soon be sending out a daily newsletter dealing with just this topic! Thanks again! Now, who wants a piece of cake?
