Our Worm worked hard for one whole week
It's not a job meant for the meek
One can't begin to give our thanks
There's not enough in our thank banks
Of one thing, though, I'm really sure
Her feet would like a pedicure

Happy Holidays Wormie.

You charm everyone who knows you. What better to give you than a charm?

Oh - and in another thread I posted the wonderful surprise gift that I received earlier. A trip to Aruba and some chocolate! That was from Lynn who knows just how right that gift is!

Just in case it's possible to burn out on Aruban chocolate, I'll send you to some other sweet spots:

Here is your new office:

While you're busy putting things away in the drawers, the workmen (who all look like

) are completing your wall so you can shut your door for quiet.

Meanwhile, your boss is at a training on Assertiveness in Management, and the Thai office is in a meeting where they're learning that they will 1) have the same hours as your office as of January 1st, even though this means they'll work the overnight shift; and 2) they all need to learn how to compute the value of jewelry based on the weight and the current price of gold, within a penny a pound, if they want to stay employed.

Your Co-Worker #1 has been diagnosed with a (not life threatening) case of throat polyps and the doctor has told her between 9am and 5pm she can only whisper. Co-Worker #2, meanwhile, has started therapy with a terrific counselor and is on terrific meds so she can't find anything to complain about except that life is too good.

ROFL!!!! Oh my, MJ! You made me laugh! That's a WONDERFUL gift! I love it! I was going to use the time that the office construction is going on to visit all those great places that Peter is sending me (I do LOVE to travel), but seeing that the workers are all so lovely (and naked), I think I'll wait till Spring to travel.

Thanks, Everyone!

After all that hard work, I bet Wormie could use a nice rubdown.

How about some pretty flowers for Santa...

**theworm**[$] · #12 12-15-2003, 02:37 PM

Ailsa, my back is killing me! That massage is perfect, and I can actually smell those lovely flowers. This has been a wonderful morning! Thanks, All!

A triple-whammy gift for you, Wormie: a menorah for Hanukah, made of chocolate for extra nibbling pleasure, and you don't have to store it at the end of the holiday!

Thanks for all the joy you spread now and all year!

I went looking for a worm menorah (I know, call me crazy - one of those "middle of the night" genius ideas!

) and found this instead. A book you can read to the Poopster when he comes to visit:

Quote:

DescriptionThis is the diary . . . of a worm. Surprisingly, a worm not that different from you or me. Except he eats his homework. Oh, and his head looks a lot like his rear end. Doreen Cronin, the "New York Times best-selling author of "CLICK, CLACK, MOO and "GIGGLE, GIGGLE, QUACK, teams up with illustrator Harry Bliss for this hysterical journal about the daily doings and the hidden world of a lovable underground dweller.

Thanks, Melanie! That looks like a GREAT book! I'll have to look for it at B&N! How cute!!!
