We took a week off, sorry folks. If you were wondering where we were last Monday, we were all feverishly working hard on projects that keep the lights on around here. Speaking of around here, this week’s theme is Jigsaw, which just turned 7 at the beginning of the month. Please, no gifts necessary, but votes would be great!

This week Matt O’Donnell returns to see if he can win two showdowns in a row. Joining Matt is Jen Kuhn, Allison Luebke (contest newbie), and myself. Here is what we found around the office:

A. New Mission Statement

B. Noteworthy

C. Retro

D. What, No Chocolate?

The winning shot below belongs to Mr. Ben Halpin. He reeled in nearly 50% of the votes last week, stopping Danielle from earning her third win in a row. The record stands at at two—for now. Congrats, Ben.
