Thank God it’s the weekend! Which isn’t to say that there’s nothing to be grateful for at work…
-
Employee of the Month awards. It’s a way to recognize employees for all of their hard work and dedication to the organization.
-
Employee of the Month wall displays. In the case of my work, they leave all 12 months on the wall. You can go back and look at October through December 2017, then January 2018, February 2018, March 2018, April… 2017. So either that’s the month that management stopped caring about the award or all of the employees started sucking really bad in April and haven’t improved since then.
-
National Peanut Day. It was actually yesterday, which is the day we all got an email to let us know people would be delivering bags of peanuts to celebrate the event. (I chose honey roasted. Because they’re yummy. And is this the proper place to make a joke about someone putting nuts in my hand? I think so, too.)
-
Tailgating. We were getting ready for the Vikings-Packers game on Sunday, so there were burgers and hot dogs, s’mores, lots of chips and desserts… also yummy.
-
Wind. The cardboard box holding the napkins kept getting lighter as more people kept taking them. Then there was a sudden gust of wind, the box tumbled off the table and napkins went everywhere. Some caught another gust of wind and I’m pretty sure they’re sitting on top of the building right now. Maybe not great for the environment, but still good lunchtime entertainment.
