Yesterday the folks at my office threw me a shower! Everyone there was so nice and generous. I know I've technically worked there for a little over a year and a half, but I've only been "official" for a month. The number of people who got together and chipped in is incredible - including some people I've only met a few times, if at all!
Everyone was incredibly generous, from the cake and champagne to balloons, flowers, and an absolutely amazing gift that will really help make our honeymoon dream a reality. It was great to see everyone taking a few moments out of their busy days to come share some cake with me and raise glasses in celebration of, well, me and Billy.
The surprise was going off well, even after they came to set up for the shower in the very same conference room where I was in a team meeting. As testament to how totally gullible I am, all they had to say was, "Oh, that must be for someone coming in after us," and I believed them. It wasn't until our associate poked her head in and saw the decorations there and had a look of complete disappointment on her face that I put it together. I think poor Vicki was upset about that for the whole rest of the day, but truthfully, public surprises like that do not go over all that well with me. The way it happened was absolutely perfect - and now we've got a story!
