I'll Drink To That

More champagne at work today - Weeeeeee! To follow up last week's celebration for a maternity leave - complete with champagne and goodies, someone in the department celebrated her 25 year anniversary with the company today, so she brought in lunch for us all… as well as champagne for a toast, of course! Germans really know how to party at work. We're a pretty large department so there always seems to be some occasion that someone is celebrating, be it a birthday, joining or leaving the group, marriages, divorces, removed molars, matching socks, a little tyke's first sip of beer, the dog's successful teeth cleaning, a soccer match taking place anywhere in the world between any two teams, or any other random event.

The only thing today was, they served the champagne about a good half hour before we started eating lunch, as they were toasting this and that and strolling down memory lane. Needless to say, with my empty stomach, I was well on my way to loopy lane... I sure was a happy camper for awhile there.

Ya gotta love Germany.
