Back when Q had under 1000 people - total. We would yell up and down the hallway "Yahoo, employee #1000 on boarded!" or my fav, yelling down the hallways each time the stock went up 2 or 5 bucks at a time. Ah, those were the days. Hearing Teddy's voice over the intercom in Bldg A, "Pound four four two". Was fun to be on that ride from the bottom up. :-)
