Did your CEO have candy and a stuffed bunny on your desk this morning?

**amykhar** · #1 04-13-2006, 09:36 AM

Mine did. I took a picture, which I'll post later. I was greeted this morning with a stuffed bunny, a card, a dish of candy, a Godiva chocolate bar and a bunny cupcake.

I'm sorry guys, but I am working for the best company ever, and I'm just going to keep rubbing it in

LOL, there's an article on the floating AOL news about the best company perks. I haven't read it yet, but the headline mentioned stocked fishing ponds and beer.

I like the stuffed bunny and Godiva better.

Given the whole separation of church and state thing and the diversity of the staff and our funding source(s), this is the last year Good Friday's a holiday (but we're getting extra personal days next year). No bunnies. But we generally have chocolate and cookies and other yummy snack things here all the time anyway, which is why I still can't shake those last few pounds to get into my sheath dress from 3 years ago...

I don't have a CEO, and if we did and he gave me a chocolate bunny, I would cry - unless it was certified kosher for Passover.

In NY, my company one year gave us a snow day in May. They actually recognized that everyone was working hard, and gave us all a chocolate thankyou card and a Friday off.

That's awesome. Enjoy it Amy.

Supposedly we get to leave at 3:00 tomorrow, which kind of ruins the fact that I have the whole day off. I could have taken today off instead & just had the half day yesterday & still gotten everything done. I'm bummed.

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know that much about being Jewish, but I can't imagine Passover bunnies??

Amy, your boss is great - enjoy the chocolate.

No Passover Bunnies. but if someone wanted to give me a chocolate bunny I would eat it - but on Passover, I couldn't unless it was marked Kosher for Passover, and how many Chocolate bunnies would be.

I might not have Easter or Passover chocolate on my desk, but I've got the Et Incarnatus Est part of Bach's Mass in B Minor playing over and over again on my computer speakers... But that was me, trying to give myself an earworm so I just might sing it OK tonight

**theworm**[$] · #10 04-13-2006, 02:00 PM

MJ - you have a beautiful voice! You will sing like an angel!

**mjfrombuffalo**[$] · #11 04-13-2006, 02:06 PM

An angel who needs to get goosed to hit the high G-sharp that's about two full notes out of my range.

**theworm**[$] · #12 04-13-2006, 02:09 PM

Oh, I'm sure they could arrange for somebody to goose you at the right moment.

**mjfrombuffalo**[$] · #13 04-13-2006, 02:12 PM

The bass section would be thrilled. Their wives would not. And the altos are busy trying to find their own notes, so they won't be able to. The tenor stands too far away.

Back on topic, Amy, it's terrific to have a boss who does those little nicities and I'm glad you're in a workplace where you feel appreciated! (especially after all the b!tching and moaning you put up with here when you do nice stuff for us that involves changing other stuf...!)

People here bitch and moan?

Well this little bunny is chocolate, non-fattening, and kosher for Passover. I'll share!

Oh - if we're all going to share, this one might be better:

**pippadaisy**[$] · #15 04-13-2006, 03:23 PM

ACK! Passover candy! I have no jellie rings! And I have to lay in my supply of margarine for baking!!!

**theworm**[$] · #16 04-13-2006, 03:26 PM

Jellie Rings

Sweetie - you can buy margarine all year long! No need to panic.
Have you ever used that butter flavored crisco? I haven't, and I don't know if its good or gross.

**pippadaisy**[$] · #17 04-13-2006, 03:46 PM

No can do. Contains milk.

And the kosher for passover stuff usually has no soy, which is what I need for Tattoo.

**theworm**[$] · #18 04-13-2006, 07:15 PM

You need to look for margarine that is marked "Parve". That has no dairy. I buy it all year round - it should be available because anyone who keeps kosher need non-dairy. You just have to check for no soy. Many of them are made from corn oil. Check out Fleishmans brand

That looks like Mr. Potato Bunny!

No stuff on my desk this morning, but after school two different kids came up to me and asked me if my baby liked candy, then gave me some. This was a 1st grader and a 2nd grader, not any of my 5th graders.
