And I thought I didn't like surprises

Yesterday, December 1st 2009, it was twelve and a half years ago I got my official contract*.

When I walked into my office, co-workers S and G had decorated my desk, aahw.

Last week I had been warned by the bossman to 'be available after five on Tuesday'... (did I mention I don't like surprises?) Of course there was a last minute client so at ten past five the bossman told me to get in his car -and hurry, because we were late and it was a long drive-. Then he drove me to a restaurant.... at the end of the street. Funny guy.
We were to have diner at De Kiewiet. Now I designed the menus for this place, so I know how expensive it is and the kind of intricate dishes they serve. I must admit this was the kind of surprise I like: fooooooood \o/

In between munching I managed to take some pictures (oooh, and I got presents!).

:-)

*I started working there a year earlier; I was the first person outside of the family to join the company in 1996. Wow, it has really been that long.

That was so nice! Yeah - we like surprises like that! :-)
And you deserved it!

Despite my fear of surprises I felt very comfortable all through the night.

Thanks:) Who knew after all these years I would still love my job!

Looks like you had a lot of fun. And that are some seriously awesome presents you got. :D

I did! Plus perfect presents for me:) I went to the travel-agent this afternoon and got a guide for inspiration \o/

Whoa, that is a GOOD present. I guess presents get more impressive the longer you work somewhere, but I doubt my employers are that generous *g*. And all the food seems amaaaazing. I'm going out to dinner tomorrow night, but there's no way it'll be up to par with those pictures, gah.

Food was abolutely delish. *licks lips*
