Happy 2nd Birthday Andrew!!





























Free Waffle Fridays

Just another reason why I love working at Webmail.us....Free Waffle Fridays.

Ok, it's not really because I can eat free waffles at work, we all know that this girl could use some time away from waffles. (At least I skipped out on the butter!!)

I love working here because Webmail encourages leadership of all different forms. Something as simple as creating a fun activity for coworkers (to get them in to work earlier!) is well worth it. To be honest, the idea for 'Free Waffle Fridays' came on a whim while purchasing food for our office last week. Usually it's during the implementation process that great ideas get lost. So I charged ahead with it and got it going. Hopefully this new tradition will continue and inspire other workers to be creative and step up to the challenge. Leadership, after all, is always up for grabs.

And my coworkers don't know it yet, but, they will be paired with other people in the office that they might not normally work with to cook the waffles. We are all like family anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem! :-)

Just When I Thought Quiznos Was Expensive

BTW - I haven't blogged in 2 months, so this story would make more sense if I posted the blog "K is for Kindergarten!"... oops! :-)

So I had lunch with Jordan today and thought it would be a great idea to buy a school lunch. You know, set the example, prove that school food is good, blah blah blah.

Ok, not only was it horrible, it was expensive. I had breaded fish sticks, fries, peas, a roll and a milk. The fish sticks were the worst things ever. Honestly, I don't think there was any fish in the bread. The fries - cold and rubbery. I guess they are still baking those things for a 'healthier' alternative. The peas and the roll were actually pretty good.

I go through the line and expect that with the amount of money I knew I had to pay I would receive almost double of everything. Wrong. My tray of food, which was the exact same in quantity as Jordan's, was $1.40 more. Can you believe that? Had I known that my serving size was going to be no different that Jordan's, I would have made her go through the line to get another tray of food and I would have saved $1.40!

At least Quiznos is a little bit more satisfying.
