It’s become a bit of a routine.
- Get up in the morning
- Walk to the closet
- Pick out a different Rackspace shirt
- Drive to work
- Grab Michael so that he can take my picture…
- Wash, rinse and repeat.
I’ll admit… last week it was starting to wear on me. I had this inner-urge to put on a suit and tie – I know, crazy talk!
This week, I’m feeling revitalized. In fact, I’m recommitting to this project, but in a different way.
When I started this process, I wanted to find out how many of MY OWN shirts I could wear before running out. As the weeks rolled by and the collection of photos grew, Rackers started asking me about my progress. What I started to realize was that Rackers were taking a trip down memory lane with every new post and series of photos.
Then something occurred to me.
What if I made this an all out, fight to the finish, Rackspace effort to gather as many different shirts as possible (with the help of my colleagues) in order to display the larger collection – the Racker Collection (not yet available in stores).
I have no idea how long this could last, but I want to see how far we can take it. 3 months, 4 months, 5 months… 6?
What do you think Rackers?
On to this week’s shirts.
Day 25 - This was the Rackspace University shirt given out a few weeks back for our newly introduced MCITP Boot Camp Training. Rackers with an interest in earning their MCITP Certification are now able to take Rackspace-sponsored classes in partnership with Alamo Colleges.
Day 26 - Rackspace has a Wellness Program internally called KickIt. We participate in all sorts of activities geared towards feeling better and being healthier.
Day 27 - The Rackspace Revolution party was held during SxSW this year in Austin. For one night, we took over Maggie Mae’s and threw a huge bash for a customers!
Day 28 – It wouldn’t be the first time they called me Goose. Anyway. This shirt came out a couple of weeks back from Rackspace Cloud. It looks like a fun version of Top Gun.
Day 29 - Need I say more…?
Phil White joined Rackspace in April of 2006 as a member of the Finance Team. Since that time, Phil has supported a number of our internal groups. In 2007, Phil moved to the Compensation & Benefits group and since that time has dedicated the majority of his efforts to helping keep Rackspace’s culture unique and special.
In his spare time, Phil enjoys mountain biking, pick-up basketball and spending time with his family (three boys and a lovely wife!).
