WE MISS YOU, YVONNE!

Things have to change. Even good things. It's in the contract.

After years of bar-none excellent invoicing and laughter-filled office drop-ins, our Finance Manager, Yvonne Bryan, is relocating to sunny California. We considered asking why, then considered this a fundamentally unnecessary question.

A few weeks back some of the ABQ team treated her to a birthday/send-off lunch. The office is already lonelier for her absence. Of course we expect she'll miss us, too, amid the surfing, quality-testing avocado appetizers, and sifting her mail from offers of plastic surgery.

But worry not, those of you playing at home! Her invoices will (most likely) not begin with that time-honored So-Cal motto, "Like, oh my God, you're totally past Net 30…" She isn't going anywhere, if you don't count the traffic, ocean, and Austrian-accented governator. Her computer still hums cheerfully in our office. She still Skypes in to say hello. Her phone number remains (505) 886-1242, and her email faithfully yvonne at tangerinecafe dot com.

We love, love, love her, and wish her short commutes, excellent seafood, and all the best adventures.
