Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day. Whether you spent it with friends, significant others or family, at work or at home. Its all about love - so as long as you felt loved I would deem it a great one!
You probably didn’t think I would have a valentine’s entry – but I do! With Valentine's day having fell a on Saturday this year, I totally missed out on seeing women receive flowers at the office this year. Husbands and boyfriends showing them how much they care with red roses in pretty vases. Last year, the receptionist stayed busy signing for deliveries pretty much all day. I wonder however, why can't we continue on the same tradition as we did in elementary school in the office. Our grocery store bought cartoon character valentine cards and pink and red decorated cupcakes our parents either baked or bought for our classes. We would then exchange our cards at a designated time and partake in the goodies that we all brought in. That was sooo fun!! Could this simply be my way to add more time fraternizing and less time working. Nooo - couldn't be.

Remember the kids who only made cards for the other kids that they liked? If you were mean or weird, sorry for ya - no "Tiny Toons" or "My Little Pony" valentine's card for you! Just think about those annoying people in your department that you would want to pass on writing up a card for. Over the years I've had great coworkers and bosses and some not so great ones - and now that I think about it, maybe this is a reason why we shouldn't translate this childhood activity to the office - you don't want your boss to remember the time you didn't give them a valentines card when its review and raise time! Nahhh - let's leave this for the kids!
