Shortly after we moved into the TD Tower (we took two floors in a rather nice office tower just a few blocks from our old office) we had what was, and still is, my most Halloween-ish Halloween at work.   Usually you only get the occasionally really keen marketing person...

This was a very cohesive and fun time for myself and, I think, the rest of the staff at GT.  The company was expanding rapidly in spite of the small series of setbacks.  Those setbacks made it feel more real and only enhanced morale more.  This was also a frantic period of growth and saw my own small department balloon to 6 people; that's <em>huge</em> for a PKI group!

We rapidly became regulars for lunch and befriended most of the staff including Erica. Until the fall of GT, this was one of my main hang outs.

This was the next phase in GT’s evolution; a major staff increase. After the move we jumped from 30 employees to around 60.  Some of what would become close friends joined while GT was here: Pam, Erin, Jason, Laura.

This was also where GT has it’s first major staff cut.  We lost 25 people that Christmas when Bob Wolfe started as CEO.  It was tough but  it also crystallized the company and led to a very productive quarter.

Brian started here around this time as well in what was to be our second job together. I really enjoyed this year at GT and I was able to stretch and be challenged quite a bit as I had a chance to do many jobs relating to getting the new PKI department developed.

GT was going somewhere, there was a plan and everyone was pulling together to make it happen. I really enjoyed working with all the people at the IBM Tower and we had a blast.
