--- author: Eric Wagoner date: '2000-03-22T04:03:37' draft: false title: Today we at Partner Software --- Today we at [Partner Software](http://www.partnersoft.com) bid farewell to our office manager with a large meal at one of the local chinese buffets. Robin took us from a startup to the relatively stable secure company that we are today and is leaving to do the same at [another startup](http://www.taalee.com) here in Athens. I'm not exactly looking for another job, but what these guys are doing sounds mighty interesting. I nearly missed the lunch handling some customer support here at the office, but I got there as everyone else was finishing, scarfed down a big plate of food, and read the fortune out of my cookie: "_You will soon go work at a better job._ " Well... if that's what the cookie says, who am I to argue?
