Today is our last day at SAS, and Khushi and I end our day with bittersweet emotions. We’re both really going to miss our new friends we’ve met along the way, but we had such a fun day! We started the day with a talk about SSOD, SAS Solutions on Demand, with Milinda, while we consumed donuts for Chris’s (another employee in GR&A) birthday. Afterwards, we got to listen to a weekly audio call with the financial directors from all over the world in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Asia), hearing the top financial correspondents from Belgium, Czech Republic, UK, and Sweden as well as David, the vice president and Chief Accounting Officer at SAS discuss their weekly agenda. Afterwards we walked a 5k, complete with food trucks and Zumba for Employee Fitness Month, and finished the day by talking about legal reporting. We both loved our experience here, and would love to be back!

The delicious donuts. Happy Birthday, Chris!

The financial directors we listened to during the conference call. Previously a director had told Lisa to put a particular issue in the ‘parking lot’, and today asked if he could drive out the ‘car’. Lisa replied with a witty, “No, because you drive on the wrong side of the road!”
