I started this feature a few weeks ago and I love how honest and open folks are being with it. I want to really get as many employees as possible – regardless of department or geography. Today, I’m sharing 5 Minutes with… Roberto “Bobby” Garcia. Bobby works in the eBay Cafe and my wife knows when I’m “being good” if I say I’ve seen Bobby because during the lunch hour he works the cash register in the salad bar line. If I don’t see Bobby, it usually means I’m having the “daily starch” and burger from the grill. Today I had salad, which is good for me and also good for you because I get to introduce you to Bobby Garcia.

Pretty cool that his favorite eBay experience was bring your kids to work day. I missed the last one because I was traveling for work. Next Friday is the next one and I plan on bringing my eldest, Addison, with me. Should make for some fun blogging and tweeting.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Cheers,
