nonimportant observations I make just from the geography of my desk. I sit smack dab in the middle of our floor and department. Everyone has to walk past me at some point of the day. Either to use the restroom, use the break room, to leave for lunch or use the elevator. You cannot believe the comments we have heard and "experiments" me and the girls in my office have quietly conducted.

| The Candy Bowl |
You see those plants sitting at the corner of my workstation? They have saved me from going "batty" some days. That spot used to be where anyone who had, let's say flowers delivered from their husband for THEIR anniversary would put them for everyone to enjoy and all 14 people would walk by at different times and say "Look at those pretty flowers, where did you get them?" I smile and tell them they are not mine and blah, blah, blah. I pity the 14th person who walked by because they get the abbreviated version and I am sure a look like I hate those "pretty flowers" now. I have never been so happy for Administrative Assistant's Day and my directors giving me that plant arrangement. By the way, I don't like Administrative Assistant's Day. I think it's embarrassing to be recognized for doing my job and think there should also be a day to celebrate everyone else that works in our office too. That is just my side commentary.
You see that blue candy bowl? That has also brought endless entertainment to me and the girls. First, put candy in it, it's gone in about 20 minutes. People come out of the woodwork. Also, people will leave just one piece. No one wants to be greedy and take the last piece. It's human nature, but interesting. Don't even get me going about unwrapped candy in there. Everyone putting their grubby hands in and grabbing candy. There should be some kind of rule.
I do love where I sit most of the time. At least a few times a day a group will gather at my desk to talk about our day, our kids, our boss, what's for dinner, and always laugh. It's good to be me and sit where I sit.
