Over Afternoon Tea

Tea is not only a drink but a ritual over which people have been relaxing, talking, and catching up on each other's lives for centuries. This blog is intended to serve as a virtual cup of tea, helping me keep in touch with friends and family in my physical absence.

This Month My Boss:

Tried to strangle Kasia, his senior assistant (more times than I keep track of).

Took everybody out to lunch on several occasions, on the last of which he bought a round of monster 24 oz beers for everybody, which he chased down by splitting yet another 24-oz-er three ways (right before heading back to the office).

Started a brief citrus war by pelting Clementines at me and Debbie, in which war we demonstrated that an office base-ball team would be a bad idea since a) Mark (my boss) can't throw and b) neither Debbie nor myself can catch. It was not, however, an entirely futile war, since I got him with one squarely in the back. ;-)

Sent flowers to a client's father who was in the hospital (and spent 15 minutes looking for a 'manly' flower arrangement).

Found my blog and (apparently) feels like a celebrity.

Keeps making comments about my last post. (This one should be interesting)
