Yesterday, I called my wife to ask for our bank account information. Melanie, who worries more than any ten people I know, is immediately suspicious. I explain that Big Fish is now using a service called "Concur" for expense reports and they need routing numbers and stuff to wire money into our account.
She's still panicking. "How did you find out about all of this???" I tell her I just got an e-mail from a man named "Shamus" who is the Senior Accounting Manager. She then asks, "Are you SURE he works at the company???" I tell her I'm POSITIVE, then I check our directory.
Not found. There is no Shamus at Big Fish.
Crap.
There's no way I can tell my wife that... so I lie to her. "Yes, he's in our directory. He works here."
I have to admit that I got a little nervous when I couldn't find the guy's name, but the e-mail was sent awhile ago so I figured he just left the company.
That all happened yesterday afternoon. This morning I'm standing with some guy at the bus stop near my house and after a few minutes we strike up a conversation. He tells me he works at a Vancouver developer called Z2Live (makers of "Trade Nations" and "Battle Nations"). I tell him I work at Big Fish Games and he says, "Oh yeah, I know Big Fish. In fact, I recently hired a Senior Account Manager from there named Shamus Williams."
True story. What are the odds???
