I was hoping to have some photos of a particularly red-faced, but last Thursday afternoon, colleagues from the office successfully threw a surprise shower for me. And by surprise and successful, I mean, whoa-nelly.
I was having a transition meeting with Kristy, my manager. About 45 minutes into it, we were almost finished going through a document and she decided that the learning from it was incredibly relevant to a brainstorm going on with another group of people taking place at the same time. "would you mind if we stopped up there for a bit and shared your learning?" Right. So I blindly walked into a room of 25 people all yelling surprise and staring at me.
I think my blush persisted for about minutes. I was actually so flushed that my feet themselves were even blushing. Seriously. My feet were beet-red!
I am so grateful to the people that pulled it together. It was truly flattering that people would go to the effort to do it, and that so many people came. Becke, my old manager from the Quicken days even came down from Berkeley. Kristy even tried to have Tim there to surprise me. If I do get a hold of the photos from the iPhone, I will try to make them available here... unless I look way to horrified and horrible to show them in public. :)
