Baby Lok: Surprise!

Let me start by saying that my coworkers are great people. We have weathered a lot together since the departure of a few members of our group last December, but we have all leaned on each other for support over the last few months and have become better friends as a result.

In any case, last Friday I was scheduled to have a lunch meeting with my department head and an underwriter to discuss an account renewal. Around 11:30 another member of my team came by to let me know that the underwriter had arrived and was waiting for me in the conference room. So we walked down there together and opened the door, but in place of the underwriter stood all the members of my practice group. Surprise!!! I looked around the room at all the smiling faces and balloons, and I suddenly realized that I had been duped—there was no lunch meeting, and instead they had brought lunch into the office and were throwing me a surprise baby shower! What fun!!! Needless to say I was stunned. I couldn’t believe how sneaky they were. We had a great time eating pizza and cupcakes together as a team, as it had been a while since we had lunch all together. Below are some pictures of our little shindig.
