Bring Your Cat to Work Friday Part Two

Fridays are already sweet but they're extra wonderful over here in the Ticket King office for a couple reasons.  First and foremost, being that we're all very fond of cats and most of us own at least one, we decided to turn every Friday into Bring Your Cat to Work Day!  That would explain the picture of my furry feline friend Rocky, who had his second Ticket King office visit today.  Rocky is a very vocal cat that expresses every thought in his little cat head through meows. If only we could understand him...


Another reason Ticket King is the bomb is that our bosses buy us lunch on Fridays. You do the math: Bring Your Cat to Work Day + free lunch Fridays = VERY happy employees! I feel very fortunate to work for such a cool company with such cool people and even cool cats!!  Thanks Ticket King!!!! <3 <3 <3
