11/27/2001 Zappos.com tops $1,000,000 in sales for November!

$1,000,000! ...and the month is not over!

In celebration we had Pasta somebody or somesuch food in a gala office bash. Yummy pasta, good friends, and lots of sales. Yeah team.

Zappos President, Nick Swinmurm had this to say about our company. "I've always heard that sales graphs are supposed to go up and to the right, and this graph is going up and to the right..." and "Sometimes it doesn't feel like work, it is just hanging out with friends. In an office. And everybody has a monitor."

He also says that we will be huge! Damnit, and look back on this not as a job we did, but as something we built, or something like that. I was a bit misty eyed at this point, choked up with the emotion of it all.

And I am not being ironic. Damnit.

The event caused the whole dev team to choke up. Emotions were high.
