Secretary's Day

[clevermanka]

A couple of the graduate students got together to buy me a bottle of Campari <3! <3! <3! and a card.

The card says:

Dear Lxxxx,

We're sorry. For everything.

Love,
The Graduate Students




Awesome.

That's awesome!

What did they do?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Not any one thing in particular. I mean, they're always asking questions and coming to me for advice and explanations, but that's my job, ya know?

Of course, the two main guys who orchestrated this never cause me any problems at all. They're always on top of stuff and pay attention. Makes sense. The space cadets are the ones who'd never think to do something like this.

I have a feeling that's why they did it: They know what you have to deal with on a regular basis! And one of them was amazed to find another Campari lover.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yay for Campari lovers!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

I have this sudden urge for Campari....

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

That subliminal advertising will get ya every time.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Nothing is subliminal about Salma Hayek.

That's sweet.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Once in a while, I'm reminded of how much I like what I do to make my living.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

Cheers to them thinking! That card is perfect.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It really is perfect.

So's the Campari. =D I'm pretty sure they enlisted the help of mckitterick for that one.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!

I'm always delighted when people surprise me in a good way. Nice to know you're appreciated!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It really is!

[the-themiscyran.livejournal.com]

That is awesome. And lovely. Yay them!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yay, indeed!

Omg, yay! Happy Secretary's Day from a fellow university administrative professional! xD

No pleasant surprises from the grad students on my end (but I don't work with them much, so color me shocked), but all our staff are ordering out Italian on the dept's dime, so hey, I ain't complaining!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yay! Happy Secretary's Day to you, too! *clink*!

Love the icon. LoveLoveLove.

We got taken out for cocktails and appetizers by our department chair yesterday. She's fantastic.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

I giggled my head off at that icon! Can I use those in my next paper? Please. ;D

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

You can use 'em. I'm not saying I won't mark them in red when I'm proofing it. =b

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

I figured as much. Also I really need to start on my FINAL assignment! :D

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Sweeet!

mmm Campari!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Perfect timing for hot summer evening cocktail needs.

***squish!!!***

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I know! Total love.

[grnvixen.livejournal.com]

Awwww! This also means you trained them right and sometime in the future some admin folks will thank you :).

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ha! Indeed. A gift that keeps on giving.

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

Students FTW.

I don't think I've ever said that before.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Some of my students are pretty spectacular.

[ladyniniane.livejournal.com]

That is awesome! And the Campari is really nice, too...

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Both are equally appreciated, for very different reasons...

[radcliffe.livejournal.com]

Awwww, that is fabulous!!!!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Isn't it just? Absolutely faboo.
