Staff Appreciation Dinner

Last night we had our staff appreciation dinner for work. So one of my planning projects is complete and everything went well. Our dinner was at Bull's Restaurant and these two friendly faces were our waiters for the evening. They were a lot of fun and did a great job.

Of course the boss decided he would arrive fashionably late so we were all waiting for him to order us some grub. Appetizers I mean.

After the boss arrived and assured us we would soon eat- appetizers that is. He then told us that we could order anything on the menu that was circled. Hmmmm.....I think he better not give up his day job because a comedian he is not. (In case you haven't noticed, we have a boss with a good sense of humor and he is fun to pick on)

Our boss also thanked us all for the great work we do and presented service awards to those deserving employees.

Salads and Dinners were served and I think enjoyed by everyone. There were a few minor mistakes but I guess that is normal with a group as large as ours. Talking was at a minimum during dinner which is a good sign. But it picked up again after dinner when I mentioned giving away doorprizes.

We played a little game which involved me reading the following list of questions and everyone who answered yes raised their hand and received a ticket.

Questions:

• Do you have a $5 bill in your pocket or wallet?


• Do you have at least one piercing?


• Do you have a cell phone with you?


• Do you have on white socks?


• Do you have more than six pennies in your pocket or wallet?


• Do you have on something blue?


• Did you order steak for dinner?


• Do you have on lace up shoes?


• Do you have on a watch?


• Do you have on a belt?


• Do you have on a ring?


• Do you have gum in your pocket or purse?


• Do you have a picture of a child in your wallet?
  
• Did you wear or bring in a jacket?


• Do you have on a shirt of sweater with buttons?


• Do you have a tatto?


• Do you have a tissue or handkerchief in your pocket or purse?


• Do you have 2 state quarters in your pocket or purse?


• Do you have a business card with you?


• Are the letters in your last name minus the letters in your first name equal to a number 2 or greater?

After the tickets were distributed each person got to check out the prize table and decide which prizes they wanted to try to win.

The tickets were placed in little cans in front of the prizes and one ticket from each can was drawn to pick the winner.

We gave away a digital photo frame, $20 in lottery tickets, $40 in cash, a $25 Best Buy gift card, a yankee candle collection, Sex and the City DVD with chocolates, and an Indiana Jones DVD with peanuts.

The boss said he had to be home by 8:00 to watch Survivor so our little dinner ended early to accomodate the boss (just kidding). The end.
