“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Joe Hughes, happy birthday to you!”

Recognizing birthdays is essential to Hughes Turner Phillips. As a way for our employees to feel valued and appreciated in the office, we decided to create an office questionnaire to celebrate each employee’s birthday.

Name: Joe Hughes

Role:  Partner/Architect

Birthday:  January 26

1. How long have you been at HTP?  Since the beginning and 20 years before that.
2. How has the company changed since you’ve been here?  Surprisingly less “beer thirty” Fridays, must be a budget issue.
3. If you could do any other job here what would it be?  Be the one to stock the beer cooler.
4. What hobbies and interests do you have outside of work? Hiking, camping and shooting skeet at Garland Mountain  (plug).
5. What is your hidden talent? I can swaddle a baby like no one’s business (there is a knee involved).
6. What does a day in the life of Joe look like on your birthday?  Avoiding honey-do-list and catching up on well-deserved rest.  No different than Father’s day.
