Thumbs Down, Thumbs Up

So I can finally share what Abe’s new job is with y’all! He’s a producer for The Huffington Post’s new Live Streaming Video Network, launching later this summer. Really exciting stuff – you can follow him on twitter for all the latest!

I wanted to surprise him this morning by ordering lunch to his office…

Delivery.com gave me a $10 gift card to try out their site…

…but unfortunately, it wouldn’t go through! I was online for over an hour – first trying to get delivery, then pickup – let’s just say it was NOT a good first impression. Their customer service has been very sweet about trying to fix the problem, though, so if it ever works out, I’ll let you know!

That’s an awesome gig! A former Bloomberg co-worker recently left for a job working on that project, too. He’s doing the social media around it.
