logisticsladAfter a morning of meetings, today was our annual holiday party for the Department. We had it in a large room in the new wing and it was amazingly decorated with all sorts of festive balloons and bunting. We had over 150 people attend and the catered lunch was quite good with a lovely selection of cakes for dessert. Being the science geeks that we are, one of the holiday festivities was a team Quizzo event that was graded! My lab calling ourselves "The Rat Pack" came in third (mainly due to our extensive knowledge of 80's movie trivia), but the Chair's lab, ironically calling themselves "Cheat to Win" took the prize of a future pizza party luncheon. Santa made an appearance with gifts for all the kids who were there, and that was fun and sweet for all. Clean up proceeded to bopping versions of traditional holiday music and that made it go quickly.
I gave out my traditional gift of fine chocolates to each of my students and staff. i received some very thoughtful gifts in return. I was given a Broadway Showtune Collection CD Set, a Bad Cat daily calendar, a cat mug and picture frame for the cats, a set of Simpsons pjs with the words, "I am so SMRT" on them, fine chocolate, a 12 pack of Diet Pepsi (it's what I always drink with lunch and they saw that I was out), a small popcorn popper for the lab, more chocolate, and a Tea is for Teacher tea bag packet with a lovely Teacher mug that reads, "As you foster the development of each one's unique talents, you make a contribution to our world - Thank you." I am very touched and thankful that I work with such fun loving people.
