Lemony wants to know who fired this dart.
With all the work our team is doing to make our help pages even better, track down some bright new candidates, expand our product offerings, and bring our newest addition on board (welcome, Matt!), we haven’t been blogging as often as we’d normally like.
There’s been a lot of speculation out there about just what type of person works at Expensify (ho, ho, ho), and we thought we’d start taking the opportunity to introduce ourselves. And who could resist starting with a post dedicated to our lovely office mascot, Lemony? Just look at her!
Lemony is so excited about expense reports!!
Lemony loves to snuggle and attack her friend LambChop, freaks out when her dad (CEO David Barrett) leaves the room even for a second, and gets more excited about a bowl of water than I have ever gotten for anything in my entire life. Her passion is such that she is prone to drinking so quickly that… well, it immediately comes back up (aka “water bulimia,” according to her dad, David). She holds the same passion for food of any kind (want proof? Check out the video below.)
Although she is over two years old and fully grown, Lemony is the eternal perfect puppy. Lemony’s office days (typically Tuesday and Thursday, when she doesn’t have doggy day care or important out-of-the-office business meetings) are always our favorites. Lemony is responsible for office morale, heading up in-office galloping competitions, and making important business decisions like “You guys should relax for a while,” and “This water is top notch; let’s get more!”
Three cheers for Lemony and all the other office pups out there!
