   It’s not new information that in Merixstudio we really love animals. What’s not to love - they are usually very happy, sometimes a bit little dumb and always a joy to be around. Every month we plan those visits, but June proved to be a derogation from the rule. Filip, one of our Project Managers, decided to surprise everyone and bring Mila to the office! It was especially great because the day he chose to do it was extremely gloomy, rainy and overall awful. And it was scientifically proven that when you have a famous Doge in the office, you can’t be sad. (ok, I’m lying, but you don’t need proof to know that it’s true)
6. Party with danger in its theme
8. You cannot stop smiling when you are spending time with our #godealla girls!:) #party #officeparty #integration #softwarehouse #poznan

    The day of Mila’s visit was also a day of our party! That Friday we visited Fort IX A, where we were able to test our skills of target shooting. Turns out that Adam, our new Frontend Developer, is quite skilled when it comes to that - we don’t know whether we are impressed or scared. Neither, judging by the faces of Jadzia, Ania, and Krzysiek - we were just happy to spend some quality time together.
11. Winter came in June
13. #spoileralert ! At Merix, we (almost) all are glad that #starks got back #winterfell and gave #ramsaybolton tit for tat. Somebody of us even celebrates it with showing the banner of #housestark such as Marcin with his #cool #tshirt #gameofthrones #jonsnowrules #gosansa #geekshirtfriday #geeky #merix #merixstudio #softwarehouse #poznan

    Well, don’t even think that this post won’t contain spoilers! :D We are filled with joy after this season of Game of Thrones (Jon, you might know nothing, you are still our King!). But we are also mourning few of our favorite characters - it was not the time to hold the exit door for Margaery (see what I did there?). Good thing that Marcin’s #GeekShirtFriday will remind us that we have to wait a year for the next episode... Not only North Remembers….
16. Yay sports ball
18. Classic #friday - kitchen is filled with people who either play card games or take part in our internal #fifa tournament #softwarehouse #poznan #officegames #officelife #funatwork

    Even if I’m like Moss from IT Crowd when it comes to football, I fully understand why people are invested in UEFA Euro 2016. Polish team is playing astoundingly well, and the whole country is going bananas because of that. A lot of our coworkers are not only talking matches through minute after minute, but they also are celebrating Polish victories by taking part of our internal FIFA Tournament.
21. Don’t be a baby!
23. Yesterday was Kids Day, so we started our Baby Boom contest! Each week our employees will recieve 4 photos from their colleagues childhood and have to guess who is who. After the first round we have to admit that it's not as easy as we thought it will be! But it's also more fun than we anticipated, so nobody is complaining:) #babyphoto #fun #officegames #funatwork #softwarehouse #poznan

    Our entertainment is not only limited to going out from time to time or playing FIFA. To keep things interesting we are also organizing internal games! This month we are having a Baby Boom contest, which turned out to be much harder than we previously thought. We must’ve changed quite a lot since we stopped playing with teddy bears...
26. When there is a problem, there also is a solution
28. When you want to listen to some music, but not want to wear headphopes #strugleisreal #headphones #office #officelife #softwarehouse #poznan

    In 10 tools that not only Project Managers will love Filip listed a lot of very useful things, such as phone, calendar or e-mail. However, he forgot about something that almost everybody treats as the necessity in the office - headphones. They are great when you want to focus on something and hear nothing but you favorite music. But, to be fair, covering your ears for 8 hours might be not very comfortable (you might also miss out on some fresh office gossip! <gasp>). Luckily Maciek came out with the solution. You need to place them on your temples, and you will hear the music even better - it’s another scientifically proven fact. The more you know!
31. Hello, new colleagues!
33. Who knows where you are going to end up if you join Merixstudio! Our new Project Manager Radek maybe is sitting in PM room, but on our website he is situated next to the boss #newemployee #welcome #softwarehouse #poznan

    We like to have fun in Merixstudio and the more people, the merrier. We also like creating great web applications, websites and HTML5 games; monthly summaries are not about work. ;) For those two reasons, we are on a constant lookout for talented people that can join our team. This month we welcomed Radek (Project Manager) and Adam (Frontend Developer). Guys, hope you like it here!
36. Get back to books, dummy!

    The smartest people know that they will always have something new to learn. We, therefore, must be darn smart because we are constantly having new workshops and meetings! Two teams that are particularly keen to learn are Projects Managers and Frontend Developers - good for you Guys; you are getting smarter and smarter every week. ;)
41. Free chocolate is calorie-free
43. Yesterday people working on project for Karlik had a little surprise - they recieved boxes of chocolates with personalialsed cards! What a nice gesture:) #gifts #bestclient #chocolate #softwarehouse #poznan

    Well, it’s not a new story - we really like food, especially when it’s sweet or greasy. But what we like more that food is free food! Especially when it’s given to us by a lovely client! Check out these boxes from Karlik - not only they had personalized cards, but also were decorated with orange ribbons - that attention to details really needs recognition!
46. Dude, use your brain!
48. There is a tradition in our sales room - when someone goes on a vacation, he/she should expect to get their desk decorated. As you can see, when Anita came back after her holidays she had this riddle to solve. Can you guess what it is? #throwbackthursday #tbt #riddle #office #officeprank #softwarehouse #poznan

    Do you like riddles? We know we do! Especially Maciek, who created this masterpiece of a puzzle at Anita’s desk when she was on holiday. Can you guess what it is? Think, what those people have in common? (btw, Dorota said that all of them are man and white #FightThePrivilige). I’m not going to give you an answer - you need to exercise your brain a little bit after reading a blog post filled with that many dumb jokes. :)

That’s all for this month! If you want to snoop a little bit more in our past, check out the People&Events section on our blog.
