I giggled so hard as I created a Hamster meme. Simon caught me by surprise by doing a screensharing version of TWiQ, so I thought I would create this to see if he could contain himself!
Then Aj suggested she would love it as a LinkedIn banner, and so here it is. Thank you Aj!
But wait, there's more. If you add it as your LinkedIn banner and drop a comment here (for us to verify) then we will award you a Hamster Badge.
Here's mine in action should you want to get a feel for how it looks: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosiesherry/

The struggle to contain myself was real. But a lot of fun.
This puts a smile on my face:
A. That Rosie created the meme in the first place
B. That she created a LinkedIn banner for it
C. That we are actually updating our LinkedIn banners with it
D. And we are going to dish out badges for it
Joy in community is super important and this is just a brilliant example.
