I work in the administrative office of an elementary school district. There are 11 people in our office and those people who would like to participate get to choose a month.<\/p>\n

During that month the only thing that is required is you are responsible for scheduling the birthday lunch and birthday cake for people whose birthdays fall during your month.<\/p>\n

However, if there are no birthdays, you can do whatever you want (within reason) to boost morale during your month.<\/p>\n

For last November we went over to a first grade class and made turkeys with the kids. I don’t know who had more fun, us or the kids.<\/p>\n

When was the last time you were surrounded by 20 active 1st graders who simply adored you? We brought our turkeys back and decorated the office with them.<\/p>\n

Joke of the Week<\/h4>\n

When a co-worker opened his express checkout line at the supermarket where we work, his first customer bought a large bag of dog food. They soon discovered they were both proud Rottweiler owners and launched into a discussion of the breed’s virtues.<\/p>\n

When the next customer stepped up, he plopped a box of dishwasher detergent on the conveyor and deadpanned, “Mine’s a Maytag!”<\/p>\n
