A Year in Pictures of Working

A co-worker is getting married. We planned to surprise him with cake and a card that we all signed. We planned to hide behind our desks and jump out, yelling, "Surprise!"

Then we realized that this co-worker isn't coming in to work today, and couldn't be persuaded to come in under false pretences ("The server is down! You have to come in right away!") for the surprise.

So we ate the cake ourselves.

The mother of a different co-worker passed away recently. Yesterday, I saw Lacy (who isn't currently working at Jellyvison) and she asked if I would give him this condolence card for her. Delivering it felt slightly strange, as if I should say, "Uh... I didn't get you a card. But here's one from someone else. Someone more thoughtful."
