feng shui ... NOT!every morning, when i look up at the ceiling in cube-opolus, this is my view.
why this above my cube?
apparently, in the world of cubes, organizations have voluntary, celebratory events. this one? - - - secret valentine.
it has been two months since valentine '08. (totally fake holiday, which landed on a thursday this year)
secret valentine? ... on the friday before the fake holiday, those wanting to partake shoved a hand into a paper bag with the name of a person. whomever you chose (let's just call that person "lucky"), you would be that person's secret valentine (let's just call the secret valentine "sugar daddy").
3 days of adoration (or whatever) ... yes. this year, the fake holiday landed on a thursday, so from monday through wednesday, sugar daddy would stealthily sneak trinkets, candy, gifts, poetry, ... whatever ... into lucky's cube or mailbox.
my monday (02/11) was AWESOME!!!
despite the fact that it is not quite legit to mess around with hanging sh** from the ceiling, sugar daddy did so. and with the little "pulley" system that greeted me on monday, i pretty much decided immediately that my 
m' sugar daddy fed the "engineer" in me with the whole pulley thing, got the chalk candy hearts, and got a bunch of self-esteem boost hearts stuck all throughout my already paper-cluttered, a.d.d. haven of which i reside during most of the daytime hours.
under the red & pink canopy created when i followed directions ... please pull down gently until rings touch above. attach to guest chair ... i enjoyed the rest of the day and next two days being showered by my sugar daddy...monday afternoon - a pastry from cafe madeleine that i managed to share with the other cube-meisters. YUM!
tuesday - score! cute trinkets. pink carabiner hooked to pink water bottle filled with pink and white m&ms - and i mean FILLED!!!
wednesday - score more! cute trinkets. a little map to find my wednesday surprise. map led me to the l'il community dorm-room-size-fridge. in a cute little chinese take-out container - ICE CREAM! A PINT OF BEN & JERRY'S! S'MORES!!! this, i discovered before our weekly office meeting at 9 AM. at 1:30 PM, ice cream social. (hmmm ... note to self - mini-fridge does not quite keep its cool.)
ice cream social turned in to chocolate soup with nuts and marshmallows. still good. chocolate. hello?! CHOCOLATE!!! oh! and i did bring tuesday's score to share with cube-sters.
unveiling on thursday ... all the sugar daddies got in a room with all the lucky ones amidst a potluck breakfast of tasty pastries, juices, fruits, and cakes. one-by-one, each lucky found out his/her sugar daddy. for a small moment of entertainment, to the tune of love machine รก la a dancing penguin ... (enjoy example from youtube o'er here)
... 3 cube-sters (self included) in a bit of a choreographed-moment showcased our talent by
- (very bad) ROBOT
- (quite off-beat) BUMP
- (off-sync) SNAKE
- (even-a-smooth-floor-wouldn't-help) MOON WALK
what are the chances
when you just shove your hand
in a brown paper bag
and pull out a piece of paper?!
when you just shove your hand
