Clean Up Your Cubicles!
So, my sister works in a pretty cool office. Her team leader has a Barbie on her desk with a sign that says 'Assistant". So my sister brought in her Bilbo standee and put a similar sign on him. Now the most recent addition to their team is looking for the perfect assistant for himself. They often get caught up in geeky conversations at work and after Avengers came out, they had to go to several group lunches just to talk about it. My sister got her team leader to start watching Supernatural and all of them, including their supervisor, swap DVDs of TV shows and movies.
Suffice to say, it's a pretty cool place to work. There are the normal office headaches, of course, but it makes it all better when your coworker pops their head up over your cubicle and asks you who would win in a fight, Iron Man or Thor?
So, recently, the one coworker went on vacation and while he was gone, my sister and her other coworker did this to his cubicle.
My sister a genius!
Her coworkers all actually covered her meetings for her too, so she could take a week off while I was in the hospital. I bought her a gift basket of sweets as a 'thank you' for sitting with me in the ER and coming with me for all the testing, and then I bought a second gift basket for her coworkers as a 'thank you, for covering all her meetings for her. They really came through for us.
