Two Things About Work

I've mentioned before this big project I'm working on right now....well, its never ending and challenging and confusing and crazy. But I feel really appreciated by everyone. My Inbox at work is getting its fair share of thanks and kudos. But this week I got the two best gifts from two men I work with.

First, this Martha Stewart designer bouquet with a lovely thank you note. This is the actual bouquet--not a picture off the web. It is sitting in my living room looking spectacular right now. This was sent my our eastern region executive sales director in New Jersey. Lovely. Just lovely.

The second gift I have no picture of. It was a sound effect. From my co-worker and friend, Jeff, in Atlanta. He knows I've been frustrated over everything that's been going on even though with most everyone else I "put on a happy face". He was at his parents farm in NC this week and on Friday he gave me the great gift of calling me from his cell phone, setting it down on ground, and shooting off his shot gun in the woods. BAM!!! This was a lovely catharsis.

How's that for covering both ends of the spectrum?
