Best Week Ever!

This being Administrative Professionals Week, there are big events down at the 'ffice. Yesterday we were treated to a free breakfast, which was actually quite delicious and full of things like spinach quiche and ham and cheese fritatta. Nothing continental here. Then, at 10:35 am, it happened. We all received the email from our supervisor's supervisor:

Subject: Got Caught in the Rain?

Well, as luck would have it, our support staff gift this year is a windproof umbrella in a sturdy carrying case.

Unfortunately, this gift is for CWT employees only so temporary paralegals are not eligible. Temporary paralegals are welcome to the dessert fest on Friday however.

Classy. The sturdy carrying case has a shoulder strap and the whole thing looks like a shoulder fired missile launcher or at least a billy club. Coworker Maggie said two years ago they got rolling suitcases and last year it was a "crappy" radio. This brings me to the DESSERT FEST on Friday. So many SSSSSs, so many Es. Anyway, I still think this job is hilarious. More hilarious is that at the old job no one was appreciated for anything...
Of note: today is bring your child to work day here at Cadwalader. So far have not seen any children, but there was a sign this morning that said "Take Your Child to Breakfast." Which struck me as very funny somehow.
