For some strange reason everyone thought our boss had done it! Finally we had to talk hard to convince them it was us before they called my supervisor at HQ. Can’t really say why they thought that because we two would never have guessed that person would do something that was so fun. Funniest thing was we had the best time setting it all up, probably more fun than the others did finding those shaky eyes everywhere.
My guess would be the 911 manager never enjoys a laugh at his own expense. It is an uptight, dull person who can’t laugh at his self sometime. You are right – no one could use the light-hearted breaks more than those people.

They can last for weeks if left undisturbed. ;)

My job as secretary and nurses aide is very serious. On Dr. Seuss’ birthday, I dress us as Thing 2 (from the “Cat in the Hat”). We have 3 people named Emily (although one is spelled Emilie) and we are Thing One, Thing 2 and Thing 3. It is fun to see the staff and student’s eyes light up with humor.

I am a Adminiatrator of a child care center & my biggest challenge is creating climate of synchronicity. I am training my team on Wednesday evening ( October 9) on the FISH philosophy . This philosophy is from the book FISH by Stephen Lundin. The concept is based from a fish market in Seatle. Think of their daily job of ice, smelly fish & cold hard work. They create a culture based on four elements; Be There, Choose Your Attitude, Play, & Make Their Day. This book is a easy read & truly an inspiration to any workplace culture. Take a moment to check out the FISH video on Thefishphilosophy.com. You will not be disappointed. Happy fishing!

Friday is a day without children & out time to plan for the next week. And usually out day for play. Last Friday we went “fishing”. We used the fishing poles meant for the children to play with outside, however we were in a classroom trying to knock stuff off the shelf, see who could cast the farthest, and not get tangled with another line. It was the most fun we’d had as a group in a long time. The best part was the adults(aka our bosses) were already gone for the day. We definitely escaped adulthood for an hour that day.
