NYCPHP Meetup

[Kristina Anderson]

These are the sorts of job posts that just  make me look forward to 
switching to a different career... "kegerator" & "beer pong"?
I should want to hang out with you outside of work and watch you drink 
until you puke while listening to loud rock & roll music?  (From the 
tone of the below it seems like you  may be doing this during the workday!)

Clearly nobody in this awesome company has yet seen their 25th birthday...
