hello, lovely

Rock on.

In honor of Teresa’s birthday, work let us have half the day off!

Okay, just kidding. It wasn’t for Teresa’s birthday, but I did get half the day off. Next week is Administrative Professionals’ Week, and I am considered and administrative professional. They decided to have an appreciation luncheon, and then let us all off for the afternoon. I thought that was pretty cool. Between S and I, we “trained” her through the morning, and I went about getting stuff ready for the poor suckers people who had to go back to work and our interoffice mail bags & mail to corporate and some other stuff. Everyone kept saying I’m so efficient and the best receptionist they’ve had since they’ve been there. It’s nice to be appreciated.

Things at work before today have been stressful (not for me, just around the office in general), so it was nice to have a fairly relaxing day.

All of the managers got up and thanked their specific teams and gave them a thank you note with a “token of appreciation” in it. I ended up with a $25 Visa gift card, and I have a feeling it will be going towards yarn a bathing suit for our vacation/this summer or new workout/walking pants. Fun. I also won a plant because my envelope had a green dot on it. They had plant centerpieces, and they were purchased by our manager for the tables, and we all got to keep them. Nice, huh? Let’s see how long it takes me to kill it. lol.

What did I do with my afternoon? I came home and ended up hanging out. Joe was off today, and he said “Hey, let’s go to the movies.” We had a zillion dollars in movie bucks, so we went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It was pretty hilarious. Now I’m at home, knitting & listening to podcasts. I’m not sure what we’re doing tomorrow, but Sunday my 3 Day team and I are going on our first training walk together. Should be fun.
