A Retired Employee!

daCapo has had its first retirement! Amadeus Pyttlik-Derkson, long time greeter, sound editor and financial auditor officially retired from full-time work at daCapo (although he will continued to provide services on a project-by-project basis when his skills are required). We had a party for him on Thursday, and presented him with a number of gifts, including an engraved gold watch (see that doggie bling on his paw!). We presented him with a cake.... Which he ate... ... aside from his work collegues, Amadeus had a few guests, including his friend Astrid who was linked VIA netcam from Germany (note the I-heart-Amadeus sign she sports)... ... and his good friend Mila, who came with a balloon for her buddy! As the even wore on, Amadeus admitted that he was a little sad to leave daCapo... ...but admitted he was looking forward to hitting the links this spring!

Amadeus listened to a song I wrote about him: This Dog.

He also asked that we post some footage from the ceremony.... (see below) Happy retirement buddy!
