The Luncheon Post

Today we had a company luncheon to commemorate those who have worked at Colorvision for notable amounts of time. This is usually done during the company Christmas party, but this year is a special case due to the event being postponed*.

Today we all gathered in the conference room for a tasty spread from Olive Garden, and to recognize people who where at milestones with their tenure at Colorvision. Quite a few people from the home offices where recognized as well as a few of our area and store managers. Duane had the most impressive track record and is celebrating his 20^th year working the warehouse department. It’s crazy to imagine doing the same job for so long (my personal record is 3 years on-and-off), but it speaks volumes about the company I suppose.

*As I had mentioned in a previous posting, Sharon, the company matriarch, recently underwent some major surgery. Mrs. Simmons’ is the coordinator and event planner every year for the party and it was unanimously accepted that doing a Christmas party without her wouldn’t be something the employees would want. I’d like to report that Sharon is making a terrific recovery and is back in the office regularly.

The Crazy Office Post

Work is kinda crazy at the moment. Regrettably Sharon, the company’s matriarch, is undergoing some major surgery, and is expected to be out of the office for a while recovering. Everyone’s furniture is in the middle of the room due to guys coming by on Monday to start painting the walls. There is major construction going on next-door involving compacting dirt for a parking lot, which causes the whole building to shudder constantly. And the air-conditioning was down last week on our end of the building which had us in the high eighties for a few days. Not the most wild of circumstances, but weird to have them all happen at once. Considering that I spent most of my work week gluing together an Indiana Jones backdrop for a Halloween costume (not mine before you ask) and writing stage directions for an NBC script… it definitely wasn’t your average week at the office. Best of luck to Sharon during her surgery and recovery time. Hopefully everything will be a little less crazy when she comes back.
