Organize Your Files Week (& Tax Day)

 

Happy Tax Day!

All taxes are due by midnight tonight. And if you had a hard time getting all that paperwork in order this year, you will appreciate that this week is also "Organize your Files Week"!

Now is the perfect time to get all your files in order, so next year, come tax time, everything will be in one place and right at your fingertips.

As you can tell Galison loves doing a little organizing of our own. And doing it with a pretty Meadow Field pattern make is that much more inviting!

File those important papers in a File Tote

and gather your receipts in an Accordion Organizer!

You'll have so much extra time on your hands next year; you won't know what to do!

Have some fun with "Organize your Files Week"!

National Walk to Work Day

 

Today is “National Walk to Work Day”, and if there is something New Yorkers know how to do, it’s walk!

Lots of us here, at Galison/Mudpuppy, walk a significant amount of our daily commute and some walk the whole way from home to work.

Here are a couple of Galison/Mudpuppy employees walking to work this morning; we hope you enjoy the sights as much as we do.

1st up is Cynthia, our Mudpuppy creative director.

Cynthia walks to work every day!

Her starting point was the East Side; 54^th Street and 9^th Avenue.

From there Cynthia cut across town to Broadway and down through Times Square!

And then she took one more quick cut across town to get to the Galison/Mudpuppy offices on 44th street.

(disclaimer: these are not our offices, just beautiful Mid-Town sights)

 

Next to walk to work is Heather, from our Galison design team. Heather walked from her apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Heather's walk starts with a quick breakfast pick-up, then into Central Park where she can enjoy her breakfast at the Conservatory Water.

After eating breakfast, it is a beautiful walk down through central park! (I'm jealous of these beautiful views!)

 

Once through Central Park it is just a short jaunt down 6th Avenue to our Mid-Town offices!

Third is Liz in customer service. Liz commutes from New Jersey, so it's a little harder for her to walk the whole way to work. Liz arrived from New Jersey to Port Authority on the west side of Manhattan. She then walked the short distance from Port Authority, on 8th Avenue and 40st Street, to Galison/Mudpuppy.

Liz also got to see the sights of Times Square; as well as the New York Times building and Bryant Park!

And last is myself, Shannon; I commuted from Brooklyn to the Galison offices in Manhattan.

I started with a short walk through my neighborhood to the East River Ferry.

From my Brooklyn neighborhood, to Manhattan is just a short 10 minute ferry ride, but alas, I didn't get to ride the ferry. Ferries were running on a holiday schedule, so they didn't start till 9:30am; too late for me to get to work.

Once into Manhattan, via the subway, I passed by Bryant Park and arrived at our offices.

All of our walks originate from different places, but end up at our beautiful offices; with vibrant sights along the way. Happy "National Walk to Work Day"!

Very Hungry Caterpillar Day!

 

Yay, it’s Very Hungry Caterpillar Day again!

Eric Carle’s “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” was published on March, 20^th 1969 and for the last four years, March 20^th has been celebrated as Very Hungry Caterpillar Day!

We’re pretty sure you can see how much we love “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” here at Mudpuppy!

Eating our way through apples, oranges, pears and plums seems like an appropriate celebration. With a cupcake and ice cream cone thrown in of course!

Are you going to do anything special to celebrate Very Hungry Caterpillar Day?

We hope everyone has a Happy Very Hungry Caterpillar Day today!
