Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm not really an included part of the staff here. I mean, I have a key and a mailbox, but I'm not considered when people discuss anything like anniversaries or birthdays etc. It doesn't bother me, though I'm pleasantly surprised when people leave notes or cards for me.
Has any buffista given a loan through Kiva?
What I would really like to do is to have monthly donuts/muffins/pastries people can grab as they want accompanied by an email noting the events we know about, rather than an "event", but I am not sure that will fly.
We do that here and the people whose bday it is that month pick the food they want. So, sometimes it's a morning thing with bagels, or lunch with pizza. One favorite is to do a salad bar where everyone brings two or so items off a list that circulates. Very tasty and a lot more healthy.
And then there's a dancing hamster thing, but that's a whole 'nother story.

I, for one, would love that. I hate celebrating my birthday at work.

One of my favorite workplace shenanigans involved a Kung Fu Hamster, a ransom note, and demand for payment in pennies for the hamster's safe return.

I gave Kiva gift certs to my family for Christmas. A couple of them have made loans already and said it was very easy.
Has any buffista given a loan through Kiva?
yes, I have and I got a GC for Christmas that I need to use also.

Yes, both the DH and I have done so.
The Los Angeles Police Department's latest high-tech crime-fighting tool, the Phraselator, enables officers to translate and broadcast thousands of prerecorded phrases in a multitude of languages.
I'm in the antisocial club. Er, well, you know what I mean. The creepy peer pressure involved in workplace parties tends to push my Hulk smash button. So I usually hide in my office until they're over.
If I'm close enough with someone that I genuinely want to celebrate their birthday/spawning/whatever, I'm already intending to do that outside the office. And if I don't... why spend the energy pretending to care? Doing my actual job is less draining than making small talk with people I don't give a damn about.
I love the concept of Kiva. That might be my next year's christmas gifts!
