file under SP, for Silly People...

[dchenes]

I'm working on a fairly large archiving/filing project while I wait for the stuff I'm really working on to come back from review. The archive folders have to be labeled in pencil, so I went and got a pencil out of the general office supplies stash, and was happily labeling things, up until the pencil disappeared. I proceeded to tear my cube apart looking for the thing, finally gave up, muttered something about probably having filed it by accident, and got another pencil.

As it turned out, I was using the wrong sort of folders. So I got the right sort, and was swapping the contents out of the wrong ones, and found my pencil. Apparently I had indeed filed it. That amuses me for some reason.

Sixteen roses apiece for everybody in the office (including me) just appeared. This place doesn't do holidays by halves. It's a good thing this week isn't any longer, or I'd get overwhelmed. (I haven't done anything much yet, and I'm getting showered with appreciation anyway, and I find it somewhat odd.)

Oh well. Better to be overappreciated than be treated like office furniture. :)

So... what did you file it under?

G, because that's what the last name of the professor whose file it was in begins with.

Enjoy the appreciation. Harvard does this sort of thing all over the place. And while I agree that the money could be better spent, showing your employees that they are appreciated certainly does wonders for morale and loyalty and that stuff. So revel in it and let it be what it is. Next year, you'll have deserved every bit of it!
