the lunch was meant to be a pseudo-introduction of me to my team, and vice versa. apparently the bonding worked, as i was told the next day that they had given me the thumbs up. 'sh', my boss, also mentioned that she had informally polled others who all agreed, and one had 'said it best' when they commented that i seemed 'cut from our cloth'. i couldn't agree more. i have never walked into a new job and been so comfortable as i have been here. i know very little about my co-workers, but there is an overwhelming feeling of 'family'. it is clear that everyone likes each other. this is not a place where people are deceitful or uber-political. this is a place where people help each other succeed.
much of tuesday was spent at a site inspection at a nearby resort and spa, at which, we will be holding the big january conference (cal ripken is our guest speaker). we toured the property and i enjoyed another free lunch!
today was our office holiday party, so as you can see, it's been a fun week! we had the bowling alley 'lucky strike' (yes, it is related to the one in dc) to ourselves, and it was a blast. i was the top female bowler out of maybe 40-50 other ladies (though it was actually a medium to low score for me, so i won't share it), and of course, i wasted no time getting started with the self-portraits!
lw (one of the great girls on my team), lc (the great girl i replaced),me (also a great girl), and rb (the other great lady i am managing)
me and the boss
jw (one of the other mormons i work with) and i
me and aw (my office mate, and awesome chica)*i am being, perhaps, overly cautious about the use of names, and therefore, my co-workers will be referred to by initials:)

Yay woo woo! I think it's funny that you've been taking pictures with your co-workers and BOSS! I'm one of those sly photo takers that pretends to not be taking a picture... I'm a freak. It looks like you're very happy and I LOVE that!
