I'm on the newly-formed 'Fun Committee' at work. I've always kept the birthday list and made sure the birthday person has a card and a cake. Yep, I'm good (you do know I'm kidding) and that's why I'm now listed as 'Birthday Specialist Wendy Gilson'. Can I put that on my resume? Or could you maybe greet me one day with a hearty, military-style 'Good morning Birthday Specialist Gilson!' I'd really like that.
Fun fact: If I had been born in Iceland,I would have been Wendy Albertsdottir (Albert's daughter). Or perhaps Wendy Alsdottir. Very few Icelanders have an official family last name.
In my office this afternoon, there was a meeting of five people gathered in a small room to plan a fun February event (That's right! It was the Fun Committee!) We decided on a Valentines Day potluck. I suggested we go for maximum schmaltz - pink, white and red, too many hearts, gooey sentiments, the whole nine yards. As logic would dictate, this needs to extend to the food, so that's why at about 4:15 PM I was excitedly shouting "Heart-shaped meatloaf! Heart-shaped meatloaf! I'm going to make a heart-shaped meatloaf!
It will be frosted in ketchup (Valentines Day red heart...). Now I just need to go to Michael's to get the appropriately-shaped pan.
Heart-shaped meatloaf..brilliant. You can do the same with Rice Krispie treats as well..(why not..all middle-americana food)
ReplyDeleteAnd "social events planner" on your resume will look good.
