i got an award today at work! yea me! :) our boss's boss has an award ceremony every month for all her teams (she oversees 5 teams), and some of them are kinda like gag awards, but some are serious, and you get nominated by other teammates to receive them. and i got the "team player" award for helping out our funder. i was shocked to get anything since i've only been there a month.

today was also "bring your kid to work day" so we had a bunch of kids running around all afternoon. there were a lot of kids. it's weird how so many of my coworkers have kids. JM is 26 and has an 8 year old and a 3 year old. EI is my age, divorced with an 8 year old. JC is only 3 years older than me, has a 14 year old, 10 year old and a 2 year old. FB is a year older than me and has an 8 year old. what in the world? JM's sister had her baby when she was a junior in high school!! hullo?! and their mom is young too, like 42. her grandmother is only a few years older than my mom! i can't even imagine having a kid when you're still in high school.
