I am an appreciated employee

Ths being Wednesday, I am midweek of what is my place of enslavement's "employee appreciation week"
Monday we had a continental breakfast whilst our beloved president gave a short inspirational speech where he managed to mispronounce our HR Directors name, and introduce our new Executive Vice President, a personal croney..who has recently come to us from....George Bush's cabinet!
We also enjoyed a rousing game of e-mail bingo throughout the day..

Yesterday...found us donning our "hard hats" for an inspiration field trip and short bus ride (and you can read that either way... either short..bus ride...or short bus...ride, both would be fitting) to the site of our future new office...smack dab in the middle of Arlington Virginia...joyous exhaltations of trafficky goodness! (we had received a lovely packed lunch we could either eat on the bus, or indulge in it's deliciousness at our desks)

Today...we will be having a "Margaritas and Milkshakes with Motivational Speaker" from 3-5pm.

As for the delightful appreciative swag we have received thus far? In addition to the lovely hard hat we got to keep for ourverysleves, we have received lunch bags with our company logo..and a t-shirt with same company logo.

Tomorrow we have a health and wellness fair, with a special "fun-walk" throughout the day.

It is so very lovely being appreciated.

bless, its nice they try to intergrate you into the community!
hard hats and packed lunches, you're all how old? sounds like one of my sons school trips. and he is 5!
did you have to get a parent or gaurdian to sign a permission slip?
did you get to take some money for sweets (candy)?
sorry but it's hilarious.

It felt rather hilarious.
There is something about a bus ride that brings out high school in people.
Unfortunately this bus only stopped in the Staples parking lot (an office supply store) and only the MIS people got excited about that...
