This week at work.

No really interesting dreams lately. This week at work was Employee Appreciation Week, which was pretty cool. We had breakfast catered on Monday morning, which was omelettes, some fruit, donuts, bagels, and muffins. On Tuesday, we got smoothies, and I was pleased to get a cappuccino smoothie (I'm not big on fruit, other than apples). On Wednesday, we got salads for lunch, which I declined since I'm not big on green veggies. Today, we had popcorn and later dinner at this company-wide meeting. Our speaker was a guy who had been in a plane crash, then taken and held prisoner with several other Americans by the Chinese for nearly two weeks before he was released. It was an amazing and inspirational story. Tomorrow at work, we're getting cookies, and my department is having a food day to celebrate the wife of my boss approaching the due date for their first child. I'm bringing cookies, since my area has been charged with providing desserts for this occasion.

Still amused by the interactions between Tony and Debby. They threw some stuff at each other at one point today. There was some mild physical interaction between them--Debby shoving Tony--but you could tell that she wasn't really angry at him, just mildly (for her anyway) annoyed. She was asking him about his girlfriends, and he was like "which one?" He was joking with her about how she ranked in our area in terms of her speciality. My team leader takes all of this in stride, knowing that it isn't really mean-spirited, just loud joking between coworkers.
