I hope everyone enjoyed Christmas yesterday or however you celebrate the holidays. Last week our company took us out for a surprise holiday lunch at one the best Italian restaurants nearby.
I work for a small company so there was only 22 of us and we got seated
on the upstairs balcony overlooking the lake. I had never eaten at this
restaurants before so I was excited try some of their dishes and everything we had from the appetizers to the entrees and the dessert were scrumptious. I can't wait to go back again with K or friends.
We shared some Bruschetta, I chose Veal Marsala as my entree and then finished with a Berries & Cream dessert.
There was a gift waiting for us at each table setting and when we all opened our gifts at the same time I was blown away by the beautiful Citizen watch they gave us which had an engraving on the back.
So sweet and thoughtful....and definitely unexpected!
It's great working for a company where you feel appreciated and where you are treated like family not just a bunch of coworkers running a rat race.
More fun weekend and holiday happenings coming soon!
What a sweet gift & fun event. All of that food looks really good!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great luncheon! I'm so glad you found a job where you're happy and they treat you right! That watch is gorgeous! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteWow that sounds like such an incredible holiday luncheon. The gifts were also super generous. I've come to realize how important it is for a company you work for to treat you like more than just another worker, whether it's 20 people or 200. Luckily I work for a great group of doctors who appreciate all of us :)!
ReplyDeleteYour company sounds so great to work for! What a fun way to celebrate the holiday!
ReplyDeleteAww, I am back at work today and this made me smile plus it made me super hungry considering it's noon now and I'm ready for lunch and all that food looks amazing! I love that your new company makes you feel so valued. I work for a very large health system and it's not the same as it was 15 years ago so since I am the boss of my department, I try and make all of us at least feel like family and we do and it's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful lunch and gift. It's so nice to work where you are appreciated- how amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove that you are at such a great company, and your efforts are truly valued. The luncheon looks delish and how pretty is that watch? <3
