This is my little troll friend. If you were around in the '90s, chances are you're well acquainted with this bright-haired, belly-button-bejewelled troll. Yes, there is a green jewel in his belly button. He guards my desk at all times from sheep trying to cross, and other such intruders. He has also been known to show up on my coworkers' desks, peeping out behind monitors from time to time. How did I acquire such a treasure, you ask? My mother-in-law, a first grade teacher for many years, found him when she was cleaning out a room that had been used for storage. Jokingly, she gave him to my husband as a gift. I snatched him up, brought him to work, and the rest is history. In conclusion, here he is a couple summers ago, enjoying some Starbucks in the sun: [![Troll and Starbucks](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/320867/file-2231948928-jpg/blog-files/599179_535369693787_2076823368_n.jpg?width=540&height=540&name=599179_535369693787_2076823368_n.jpg)](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/320867/file-2231948928-jpg/blog-files/599179_535369693787_2076823368_n.jpg) Topics: [Inside ArcStone](https://320867.hs-sites.com/blog/topic/inside-arcstone) ![Dan Olson](https://www.arcstone.com/hubfs/dolson.jpg) ## Talk to a Digital Strategist Questions about your project?
