This note was received via email from Brandi Dupre, Community Manager at ICUC Moderation Services.

To: Keith Bilous, Jan Reischek, Maurice Gingras, and Emanuel Darlea

I just wanted to send a quick note expressing my gratitude for this opportunity as Community Manager with ICUC. I have a fiery passion for what I do, with both our clients and also as part of our team here within. I love my job, I love our company, I deeply believe in our goals and success, and I want you to know I appreciate so much this opportunity of a lifetime. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to be in my life right now - this is it, and I am so very thankful for all of you, for hiring me, constantly driving me, building and shaping the company to allow for all of us to be here in the first place. I’ve never been so happy with what I do, and never had this kind of outlook every day that I wake up. To think that it will get even better is simply beyond words :)

You guys have truly built something amazing, for your employees and your clients, and I just wanted to let you know this.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Brandi

P.S- I am still craving sushi. Wish I lived a bit closer, so I could partake in the physical  “meetings” ;)

The first time I went up the CN tower I took a picture of this welder painted on the wall beside the glass floor. It’s a ridiculous mural of a welder welding on what appears to be a 2X6 piece of lumber. This made me laugh but it also made me a little nervous. I sincerely hoped this wasn’t the sort of thing that was actually practiced during the construction of the tower. Read the rest of this entry »
