Dinner with Coworkers

My department got together tonight for dinner to celebrate my boss's birthday. It was so nice to see everyone in a laid back atmosphere. We ate tons, drank not nearly enough, and laughed a lot. I'm very, very lucky to have a group of people I enjoy working with. Sure they get on my nerves sometimes and I'm sure I do the same. (Have you noticed that I'm quite overbearing for a woman? It's a big turn-off to men who prefer their women to be quiet.) But all in all, the people I work with are good people. They don't have agendas. They are smart. They are humble. They are honest. I'm very, very lucky to associate with such good people.

It's just a shame that a few of them didn't show up tonight. They really missed out on a pleasant evening and a good chance to be reminded that the people we work with really are people too.
