I am thankful to be gainfully employed, with a terrific supervisor and teammates.
Yesterday, we completed 2-1/2 days of meetings, with folks traveling in from all parts of the globe.
I organized the hotel rooms, lunches, snacks, drinks, evening restaurant reservations, some taxi services, located electric cords for laptops, supplied pots and pots of coffee, and lots of cookies.
We exchanged photos of our pets, told stories about kids, travel, hilarious work situations, and heckled our bosses with smiling humor.
The group surprised me with a round of applause, a bouquet of flowers, and a handmade box made from semi-precious stones, in the final minutes of our convention.
The next time the team interacts, we'll be tiny rectangles on each other's monitors on some online appointment, so it was delightful to be in each other's company.
Am very glad to be working remotely again though, as home is where the cats are!
Oh yes, and The Hubby...*wink*
Let's Hop!

Good for you ...
That pleased even me who had nothing to do with it, as I sat here reading of all your work; and of the wonderful showing of appreciation to you. You did good, as they say and what a wonderful thank you. I am glad you were so appreciated.
ReplyDeleteSo good that you had a good meeting and I am sure your efforts were appreciated. It is nice to be out meeting people, but even nicer to be working from home where your cats are(and hubby too).
