Oh, msbelle, that is good news!
Hivemind, I need your help. I want to put together a small gift for my team at DCC. I'm a manager and have 2 coordinators, 6 captains, and 6 crew under me. Last year when I was a coordinator, I made small survival kits for my captains - mints, generic purell, a small tissue pack, a painted rock, and some other little goodies along those lines. Another manager I know gets nice pens for her team with a sticker that has their name and the DCC logo. I got one last year even though I wasn't on her team and I love that pen.
I don't have a lot of time to make anything, otherwise I was thinking of making chainmaille key fobs or something. Maybe I'll do similar but smaller? I think I got most of the stuff at the dollar store.
Ideas, please?
Mmmm, I'm still battling morning fog here. How about one of those little sewing kits, the kind you used to get from hotels? (I don't know how much they cost or what your budget would be.)
A keychain-attachable small flashlight is a really useful thing.
I'm only thinking of expensive things. Foo.
The "zombie apocalypse survival kits" I gave my staff last year included little tins of Nivea, nail file, individually wrapped sanitizing wipes, and chocolate - all from the dollar store.
If you have any way to find out how many of your team have iPhones and how many have Android phones, here are personal mini-fans [link] .
I am incredibly sad over the Anthony Bourdain news. Some just hit you more than others. You look at someone and think they have it all, and don't see the level of pain. It feels stupid to be so choked up over someone I don't know. And yet.
Uh oh. I haven't looked at any news yet.
Oh, no! We've recently been catching up on Parts Unknown, and it is such a good show. His poor daughter.
What the fuck, man. So sad.
It's a tough time to be a member of Generation X.
I'm sitting here trying not to cry in front of ltc because it will upset her, but I'm taking this one harder than I thought I would.
Wow. Yeah, I'm taking that one hard, too.
