Okay, after tomorrow, I promise the 40th birthday-themed entries will stop! (Probably.) But I did want to recap how my day went at work.
RPL has a tradition of passing along a pink flamingo to whoever is celebrating a milestone birthday (for some reason I only thought it went to people celebrating their 50th birthdays – maybe because that’s all I’d seen) but apparently it’s for any milestone birthday. (Or maybe I look a decade older than my 40 years?)
The lucky recipient wears a Birthday Boy/Birthday Girl ribbon all day and I also thought they were responsible for providing a home for the bird until they can find another sucker celebrator of a milestone birthday to take it but someone said it resides in HR when not “in use” (something I should probably know having worked in RPL’s HR department for my first three years with the organization!) 😉
Anyhow, here’s a shot of the bird on arrival in the Outreach Unit where I currently work…
Here’s the bird moved back to my desk…
Here’s the inscription on the bird’s base…
And here’s me with the “Birthday Boy” ribbon…
