Dornacher Accepts Employment Offer

Months of keying recipes into the computer, swapping grocery store novels over the internet, and dozing off mid-afternoon while reading the Wall Street Journal have come to a close for Anthony Dornacher. Since March when he was right-sized (for the forth time) after 13-years of service with American Express, his sole title in life has been Director of Catering and Guest Relations. Today, he took on a new role, reporting to the corporate headquarters of General Growth Properties as their Manager of Gift Card Technology.

Dornacher will oversee the technology components of the gift card program to be implemented at General Growth's 200-plus shopping centers around the country.

The position taps into his account and project management experience, and technical oversight. It represents a venture into the quickly expanding industry of gift cards, and a departure from the shrinking industry of travel management.

"This is a huge adjustment for all," said Timothy State, director of ambiance and entertainment, referring to Dornacher reporting to an office after working out of the house for nearly 10 years. "I suspect the animals will start behaving better, now that they will not be held, stroked, and coddled throughout the day."

At the completion of his first day, Dornacher brought home stories of "the ladies at the office," observation from the cube farm that is his new surroundings, and a keycard that provides access to the toilet.
