I've only been working at Merrill for about three weeks now. Haven't received too many projects yet since I'm just starting to receive network access / tools. One of the managers pulls me aside before lunch and tells me to be back by 12:45 because we're going to have a network meeting with the other managers. Hmm.. that's random... must be something big going on. I head over to their offices with a pad and pen and he cuts me off and tells me that one of the managers isn't ready yet and he'd come and grab me when they're ready. After about 5 minutes, he grabs me from my office and we head to the back offices for the meeting. I walk into the room to find it full of people shouting at me. Happy Birthday!!!
In the middle of the back table was a huge ice cream cake. I dropped my pad and pen, and pretended to head toward my office. I was set up, there was no meeting! 
My friends picked me up after work. As we were driving through downtown, we noticed one of the buildings with a huge glass window front and a big banner hanging inside: HOMELAND SECURITY. But the place was closed... empty!!! So, who's protecting us?!
Thanks to everyone that made it out last night to celebrate my birthday. Haven't really gone out in a while. Whirlyball, bowling, beer, and friends. What more could I ask for? ...more sleep... and some excedrin.

that was really nice of them. i think it's a good sign of the people there and the kind of workplace environment they have.
you know, they're not called librarians anymore. they are "media specialists". i'm gonna try to start a small library at my church. ^_^ have you been reading lately??
