So today, I was surprised I received flowers at work… thrice!
It’s Administrative Professionals Day and even though I’m not an assistant to most of the people I received flowers from, I do enough logistics work for them that it was very nice of them remember!
I’m posting a picture of them on my desk (ignore the strange black posterboard backdrop… I wanted to cover up some random junk on my desk). The flowers on the left are from some off-site consultants I work with.
The loverly orchids are from Bossguy; he gets bonus points for these because they are totally stunning and I love orchids.
The third set of flowers are from the two teams of on-site consultants (including the ones who brought me flowers about a month ago). P.S. - Yes there’s a piece of WB artwork in the background, but I don’t work for Warners.
Oh, and one of the other execs bought some muffins and scones for me in the morning, too.
I kind of felt bad because the main receptionist in the lobby kept having to call me to tell me to pick up flowers but she didn’t get any herself. And without her, I wouldn’t be able to do my work. So after I took a picture of the flowers, I gave her my flowers from the off-site consultants (you know the people who won’t walk by and notice that my flowers weren’t on my desk anymore and down at the lobby instead).
Anyway, the flowers were a nice way to distract me from the fact that I was at the office until 8:30 and that I *just* finished doing sending a presentation out for Bossguy about 15 minutes ago.
Back to my other work now…
LOVE the orchids!!!
Happy Administrative Professionals Day, Joz!

The picture in the background, the one Warners sent out for Mel Blanc’s death, was almost enough to make me cry the first time I saw it. What a great job on such a simple idea.
Wow! Those are gorgeous, especially the orchids. Bonus points indeed!
That was really nice of you to share your flowers.
Nice phaleanopsis. He definitely deserves bonus points.
Wow, beautiful!! You lucky dog…
