GOAT 🐐

katylava thought this was worth mentioning said Thu, Aug 16th 2018 at 2:25pm ET

In my first year at Mediocre @shawn put me in charge of an intern named Mehtaab. I’ve kept in touch with him over the years, and recently he asked me to write a recommendation for him on LinkedIn. I did so and he replied:

k t u r a

goat == greatest of all time

Just thought you goats would like to know.

Also @shawn you should totally write a recommendation for Mehtaab.

I agree 100% with Mehtaab and we should officially make you a Meh Goat soon.

- @Barney @PlacidPenguin maybe it was me, i don’t remember. if so i think it was shortly after i left Mediocre and didn’t want to be goat at that time. i think you have to actually campaign to win goathood. anyway if someone nominates me again i can say some words to encourage people to vote for me.

- @katylava Campaign? LOL. Nope. I don’t think so in many cases. Some are drafted against their will at inconvenient times.

- @katylava I definitely didn’t campaign but was successfully elected goat. When elected all I did was use giphybot excessively so I left the bar pretty low for all the goats after me to have plenty of clearance. Some have leapt clear into the stratosphere over the limbo bar I left behind

- @katylava Yeah, it was that part:
  k t u r a == Katy you are a goat
  Seemed like something related to Zuthura or some Japanese “ktura” reference I didn’t understand.
  
  Also, not sure who Mehtaab is, but they sound cool enough.
