Interested in boosting your resume out on the Playa this year? You’re in luck!
Technically, you’ve already been hired at Firm Globe, and unfortunately Franco is out on sabbatical so your workload’s been piling up quite a bit. We’re gonna need you to come into the office this week each morning and go ahead and work nights and weekends as well.
everyone knows the pride of a job well done is all the motivation anyone needs, but because we value our employees so much, Firm Globe’s CEO Barry Muhfistner has offered to reward top performers this year with a personal heart-felt thank you.
Barry would’ve loved to deliver this in person, but unfortunately the burn this year conflicted with an ayahuasca ceremony in Chile, so as a close second he’ll be pre-recording his gratitude on video.

The Viking Longboat was a potent symbol of life, livelihood, one’s journey through life, and the afterlife, and was used by the Norse for transport, in trade, in warfare, and as a burial vessel for centuries.
Viking boats had an advantage over all other watercraft of their day in speed, shallow draft, weight, capacity, maneuverability, and seaworthiness. Fjorgyn is a personification of earth in Norse mythology, and the mother of the thunder god Thor, the son of Odin.
