A giant pit in my stomach
Aug 29, 2010 clicker passing, history
I knew this was coming, but when it came, it was no less of a blow. Paul Loughran, a Clicker who has been around a few years, running our support teams in Dublin, has passed away. It was a multi-year battle with cancer, but this recent return was just too much. Paul was a quiet, and really nice guy, with a wife and 3 kids, his youngest having just turned 1. I was in Dublin a few years back for our annual services audit, and despite having been out sick for months, Paul insisted on coming into the office to meet with the auditor and be a part of the team and process. That was just the kind of guy he was. Quiet, unassuming, but totally focused on the work being top-notch. He was a supportive people manager and a good collaborator from across the globe – it was hard to find anyone who just plain ‘ol didn’t like working with Paul.. I flat-out liked Paul.
A funeral is being held this week and there’s work underway for some sort of education fund, I’ll post that as soon as I get any details.
Rest in peace Paul.

Sep 16, 2009 clicker updates, history
1) Jeannie Gamon, who was heading up sales in the UK has decided to shove off. I also heard the entire APAC sales team has given their notice.. those details are still trickling in. I actually worked, for a little bit, with Jeannie in a prior company. Full details in this piece
2) Anyone who ever worked at 33rd & 10th had a meal at the Cheyenne Diner. Well, after a bunch of attempts to sell it and move it, it literally was picked up and is being moved! Thanks to Linda Orlando for the tip!
