Hello

Hi! I'm Kate. Like Drew, I am a lowly part-time designer at ICS, but not subject to as much ridicule as he is (that I am aware of). I am terrible at slapball, even worse than Passetti.

This picture is not indicative of what I look like at work. I am usually wearing glasses as my contacts stick to my eyes after staring at a computer screen for so long. Also, my hair is usually curly as I've just pulled myself out of a pool. The first time Drew saw me with straight hair, he did not know who I was and completely ignored me. The expression is spot on.

If you are ever in the office and hear uncontrollable laughter, it is probably me laughing with Breese, Drew, Jesse or Passetti or laughing at ChrisK. I cannot hear this laughter myself as I am wearing large headphones and can often not hear anything but the music, which I dance to in front of the computer. This sometimes results in a slapball to the head. Sometimes just sitting at the computer results in a slapball to the head. I can't win.

When I am not whipping up fabulous sports montages to put at the top of a website, I can be found in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications cursing the fact that I am constantly transitioning from a Mac to a PC and working on a project for a master's degree that will be outdated in a few short years (print journalism, you kidder). Or you can find me, early in the mornings, swimming out my frustrations with this life decision.

My favorite aspect of ICS is the free food at meetings. I love food and I love free things. Don't judge me; I'm a poor graduate student and will be one for the next two years (the whole double master's degree thing because I would actually like to get a full-time job someday, I think).

That's all.
