Employee Appreciation Week

That's right, a whole week. There have been cute posters around the employee area that says in honor of employee appreciation week we were getting candy on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday, we were suppose to get Mounds bars, because we deserve "mounds of praise". On swing shift, they ran out. Apparently, a lot of the maids took large quantities home. It also turned out that they were the "fun size". What's so fun about "fun size" anyway? We all felt pretty under-appreciated on swing shift.

Today, we were suppose to get Crunch, because we "crunch the competition". They ran out. Tomorrow, we were suppose to get Hot Tamales (the candy), because we "sizzle with customer service". They will run out. So, I think I will go out and buy the regular sized versions of these and feel appreciated.

The appreciation we did get was on Monday, because they served gyros. By the way, people who did not grow around a large greek population do not seem to know how to pronounce "gyros". In case you don't know, it is "yeer-ohs". It has nothing to do with a gyroscope, so I think it is appropriate that it is not pronounced as such. I remember a mexican serving me a gyro in New York kept trying to correct my pronounciation of gyros. That made me mad, because I was saying it correctly and he was an idiot.
