Happy Valentine's Day!!

Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day to all my family and friends!!! Last Friday, I attended a "Keeping the Spirit Alive" workshop - basically a morale booster for our coding staff. It was a day of fun but also to see how our team as a whole and as a specific site gel. In the afternoon, Maria (a coworker on my site) taught the 44 ladies that attended, the basic steps of Salsa Dancing!! Can you imagine - learning how to dance on company time??? She did a great job too. Near the end of the day, our Foothills group had to draw something that represents our team. During the school months, once a week we rotate bringing in cookies for our coding staff - so we right away figured the FMC Cookie Coders was very appropriate. Today, we are to bring goodies that are either red or pink - since that is the colour scheme for Valentine's Day. Was at Safeway's yesterday so picked up nutless brownies with red and pink decorations. A coworker mentioned too that she had seen the improvement and how we compliment and gel together since she arrive a year + ago. Myself, it is not quite a year for me (wow!) but they have made me feel so welcome and feel at home right away. Sure makes a difference to feel that. Once again - no regrets especially professionally making that jump to Calgary last March. Personally - it definitely has been a growing, positive experience for me.
