10 things, that filled us with with endorphins during May:
- Hephaestus - God of fire, blacksmiths and your food
- We finally found out who's a good boy - it's this guy! #officedog #officepet #bestday #dachshund #doxie #fridayatwork #softwarehouse #poznan

- Everyone knows that spending time with animals results in higher endorphin level - I can argue with anyone who thinks otherwise! If you’ve been following our Facebook, Instagram or even monthly summaries, then you know that Merixstudio has many furry friends that visit us from time to time. This month we met Hephaestus and I have to admit that I was really excited about that (dachshunds FTW! :)). He visited us when we really needed our morale to be raised - on 27th of May a lot of our colleagues were at home and enjoyed long weekend. However, those of us who had to be at work received a consolation prize -a sight of puppy eyes when we were preparing food in the kitchen. But, to take a break from giving us a moral support during lunch, Hephaestus was primarily sunbathing or watching over the whole neighborhood from the balcony - is there a more idyllic picture?
- Happiness tastes best, when it has the shape of triangle
- Oh #happyday! We are having Pizza Party in the office! As God is our witness, we'll never go hungry again! #pizzaparty #officeparty #fun #funwork #softwarehouse #poznan

- If somebody tells you that they are not happier after eating hot pizza and drinking cold beer, then you should consider whether they are really your friends. Nobody deserves to be lied to like that!
Another thing that might sound familiar is Pizza Party at Merixstudio - one of our favorite events in the office. This month we bought almost 50 pies and indulged in the happiness that can be obtained only through fattening, cheesy food. As you can see on the picture, some of us could barely contain the excitement. - Fashion so good, it will lead you in the dark
- That's one spooky tshirt Luiza has. It glows in the dark! Too bad halloween is so far away:( #GeekShirtFriday #timburton #nightmarebeforechristmas #softwarehouse #poznan

- Although we are far from being fashionistas, a good #GeekShirtFriday can really improve our moods. In this case the only thing we had to do was forgetting about last few movies of Burton (Tim, get it together!) and focus on the fact that Luiza’s t-shirt glows in the dark! At least that's what she told us - we were unable to confirm her story...
- Culinary Travels of Kamil and Piotrek
- Kamil and Piotrek are straight outta Poznań! They are visiting our Client in Berlin, which is the best city to explore if you are as big of a foodie as those two! # berlin #urban #graffiti #interactiveagency

- This time the dose of endorphins was dedicated for Piotrek and Kamil - the biggest foodies of our office. They had the opportunity to visit Berlin, the city that is filled with great diners and restaurants. Even though their main goal was to meet with our Client, we know that it was a prospect of eating something truly delicious that made them really excited to leave Poznań for one day. ;) We also got something to smile about thanks to the picture they sent us - the level of concentration in posing is really #instagramworthy! :)
- Even Minions deserve to have some fun
- Do you remember Jadzia, the biggest fan of Minions ib Merixstudio? Seems like one of her yellow friends decided to join Maciek on his vacation! Right now our travel buddies are visiting Rome, have fun Guys and come back home safely! #prank #officepranks #rome #minions #interactiveagency

- This month foreign trips were not limited only to meetings with Clients. Maciek, our Business Developer, went on vacation to Argentina, about what we are of course not jealous AT ALL ... He decided to take with him one of Jadzia’s colleagues. As you can remember, she is the biggest fan of Minions in our office. When she noticed her yellowy friend missing, she started to search through all floors of our building (she even made posters!). After few hours Jadzia finally found out the truth - her BFF was sightseeing Rome, one of the spots during their travels. Maciek, next time go bigger and take us as part of a prank - I think that nobody will mad at you for that. ;)
- Printers as friendship amplifiers
- You can't be sure of many things in life, but there is one that you can always count on. If you work in the office, you will definitely have problems with the printer:D #office ##printer #officelife #softwarehouse #poznan #poznandev

- Our endorphin-filled month was tested by the thing known to every office worker - the printer that simply refuses to work. This usually happens when you need to use it the most, and the reasons behind those breakdowns are unknown to every human being - sometimes it says that paper is jammed (when it’s clearly not), the other times it just refuses to act upon our commands and pleas. Anita and Maciek teamed up to fight with this classic office problem, but it was I who had the best time when I was snapping pictures of their struggles. ;)
- Homer, get to work!
- Happy family or just making fun of stereotypes? We will never know! #office #funwork #officelife #softwarehouse #poznan

- Sometimes sitting behind the desk for almost 8 hours can be far from fun - you will do anything to not stare at the computer. The different problem might have Krzysiek, who is constantly running around, fixing our equipment or taking care of urgent matters. The ideal solution was revealed when one of plants fell down in Sales Room and someone needed to vacuum the dirt of the carpet. Anita could move away from the desk for few minutes and Krzysiek gave us his best pose with beer that was left after Pizza Day. As you can see, the only stereotypes you will encounter in our office are in the form of jokes (and escaping tasks).
- New coworkers = new energy in the office
- Merixstudio is constantly growing! In last couple of month our Sales, FrontEnd, Design and BackEnd Teams welcomed new colleagues - looks like our HR people did a good job in recruiting them:) #softwarehouse #poznan #webdevelopment #newemployee
- Zdjęcie zamieszczone przez użytkownika @merixstudio 30 Maj, 2016 o 2:14 PDT
- Who doesn’t like when new people join the company? Certainly no one in our group. Over the last few months our Frontend, Backend, Sales and Design Teams (among others) have acquired new members. Fortunately, due to corporate events and common Pizza Days, acclimatization is not a problem for anyone. Only bills for such entertainment are getting higher and higher with each integration, but nobody has the time to worry about such trivial stuff. ;) Welcome on board!
- Listen to your mother - stop playing games and draw something nice for your friends!
- One of #Kopanito fans organised a drawing contest on Steam - check out this masterpiece! #footballgame #football #drawing #softwarehouse #poznan

- You probably heard about Kopanito, our football game. We had a little surprise from one of the fans when we saw the drawing competition he organized. We saw a lot of really great entries, but had to say that the one posted on Instagram is our favorite. What do you think?
