I got a new word today at work, thanks to the notes system:

First definition care of a co-worker, second definition care of me.

So last Thursday (March 5th) was my birthday, my first birthday after having been hired at the job. My coworkers are, in a word, awesome. They spoiled me.

First hurdle of the day they had to leap… decorating my desk at work before I get there. Frankly, I work a lot of morning overtime…. so whoever had to accomplish this particular feat must have slept overnight in order to beat me there…

You’ll have to forgive the quality of the pics… camera phone

Then when I came back from lunch, someone had left secret birthday cupcakes on my desk…

It was the bestest birthday I have ever had at a job!!

Something else from work that I wanted to share is the Vocabulary Word Of The Day. Its not one of those daily calenders with words that would make you seem smarter should you use them.

We have a system we use internally where all “notes” are kept. When people call, when an account is researched, when something is mailed… each and every thing gets an entry. There are no guides as to what you get to say in the notes. Basically you can say whatever you like, however you like (within reason). I have to go through a lot of these “notes” and I find some very interesting words as I read through them. Those I like the best get posted on my cubicle wall. Here are a few…

And my first and favorite…..

All of these words were used multiple times in notes… without a hint of sarcasm. Now… don’t you feel informated?
