It's only 11:17 and so far I've had one co-worker give me a pair of hand-made earrings (for no reason other than I complimented hers yesterday!) and another offer to take me out to a nice lunch (when I finish the god-awful project he foisted on me, but recognition for hard work is really just a nice as random free food). AND I got to meet our new employee who seems poised to make my work life much easier.
At this rate, I'm totally expecting someone to announce that henceforth there will be a puppy living in the cube next to mine, and Patrick Dempsey will be coming every day to care for him.
Free earrings! I’ve been reveling all week in a pair of earrings and purse that a friend bought on the street in NY for me since I was dogsitting. You’ll have to post a picture.
