Bill is retiring very soon and his office had a surprise party for him this afternoon. Because Bill has a history of fixing things at the office the theme for his party was Bob the Builder. He got Bob the Builder clothes - boots, overalls, flannel shirt and plastic hat. And since Bill usually makes morning coffee they gave him coffee and a coffee plant. He also got a bottle of Scotch and a National Geographic of 500 places to travel to.
The food was excellent. They had enlarged photos of Bill throughout the years and there was a lot of joking and laughing.
I must say their excuse to get him to his party was pretty poor. They sent out an office e-mail announcing a mandatory meeting about health benefits. Bill insisted he wasn't going to go since it didn't apply to him. He had his suspicions and gave them a hard time about coming. I had thought he was completely surprised. He was surprised to see me.
