Going Away Party

Wednesday, June 9th 2010

We've had a high school student intern at our office for 9 months now and today was his last day. We decided we should throw him a Graduation from High School/Going Away/Last Day of Work Party! I sent out an invitation to the department a few weeks ago with a list of items for people to sign up and bring.

Yesterday there was a debate on where we should order lunch, so today we had a vote. It turned out to be slightly stressful (I made it that way on myself, I don't know why I do that). Anyway, I had help from others in decorating, ordering lunch, providing all kinds of treats, etc. Thanks to them!

Then, I picked up the pizza, set up the tables & food with the help of my coworker Miss P and made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone gathered around for a group photo and then I was ordered to give a speech!!! Yikes! I did it though (it was more of a 3 sentence appreciation toast with no champagne). So that was ok.

I think the intern appreciated it, just as we appreciated his hard work this year.

Peace :)
