Hee!

My desk is just about covered in flowers. Each of my coworkers brought in a handful from their gardens (though several apparently have gardens at Safeway) to put into one big vase. Except that now it's expanded to two vases and a plastic Coke bottle sawed in half.

Of course, now my throat is closing up and I can't really feel most of my head. But my desk is really pretty. Still, the people who brought me chocolate instead of flowers are getting the most favors this week.

And yes, I know it's a manufactured commercial holiday. But I'm enjoying the manufactured commercial love, 'cause I'm just that easy. Administrative Professionals Day only comes once a year, y'know.

Heh. I didn't know about it, so I didn't remind my bosses about it, so I get bupkis. Ah, well. And I'm not even allergic to flowers.

Oh, that's nice of them!

I always loved this day when I was working because it was one day when people let you know that they did appreciate you.

Happy Day :)

Yeah, I got flowers, and they're taking me to lunch next week.

And the other Admin on this side of the floor is bitching because her people didn't get her anything.

Got a card this morning. I didn't tell them about it, but maybe they saw it on the news or something. ;-)

I'm liking the inscriptions a lot:

"Thanks for everything you do here! I wouldn't want to have to figure out all the things you just seem to know. Please don't ever leave!"

"Thanks for all you do to make it run so smooth here!"

"Thanks for all you do. This office would be total chaos without you!"
