The director of our organization was in town yesterday and today.
Her office is about 250 miles away at one of the company’s headquarters, but she makes a trip up about three times a year to make sure all is running okay here. And you know what? It is! She told us that she was quite impressed at the work we’re doing. We’re meeting goals — hell, even leading the pack in them. She’s quite proud of us.
And to show us her appreciation, she decided to do something on impulse this morning: she came by everyone’s desks and gave us some special appreciation gifts!
Here’s what we got:
That’s correct! A beer-cozy and a pen!
We are great! We are appreciated for what we do! We are the company. We are satisfied.
(The CEO of the company made slightly over 26 million dollars last year.)
Okay. Not much to post today, I admit. But I think I’ve figured out something I’m going to do with this blog: I’m going on a quest. And I’m going to serialize the adventure in blog format. The goals of the quest have been set; all I have to do now is start my journey and document it. Hopefully some of you will find it interesting.
It has to work! I came up with a name and everything!
Yes. I even have a graphic for it, so there’s no turning back. Look for the saga to begin later this week…

If this is the same “operation” that socKs told me about, I think you might need to change the name from Operation: Enduring Tofu to Operation: Celery STALK

Knarfl: Yup. Tofu. The food people love to hate and hate to love. Mysterious, ain’t it?
Reader78th: Touche.
And yes, now I can take a joke…
othurme: You’ll see what’s going on soon enough. I, too, enjoy the stuff…
Absurdist: I guess it’s a way for them to make us forget that they took away our free coffee. And our free hot and cold filtered water. Apparently having that in the kitchen triggered a red flag for “safety reasons” 18 months ago. Never mind that it was doing just fine in there for nearly a decade before…
Will there be commemorative t-shirts involved in this quest? You know how I love to design me a t-shirt. Can Monsieur Tofu be involved?
Points to Reader78 for coming up with such an awesome alternate title!
Hmmm…I’m really curious about this quest. I’m sure it’ll be interesting!
socKs: Absolutely! Monnsieur Tofu wins the pennant!
Shiny: Thanks! I hope so! I haven’t quite written it yet…
