It started because Julie was sad (one of her soccer teams was not doing well) one day. Julie is never sad, which made her being sad even sadder for her friends. So that day in August become Julie Soltesz Day. Her friends bought her little treats to help cheer her up. That was the first event in the movement now called Celebrate CREW (is that we have termed it?).
There is no rhyme or reason to who gets what day as their day. Overall it is random for whose day it is and what the date is. There are some constraints. For example, Frida and Pierre leaving the department pushed their dates ahead.
In addition to a poster announcing whose day it, there is a crown. It is made out of paperclips. People are encouraged to add to it. Below is the crown on Friday August 24. Sunny added the paperclips down the sides and the candy, Danny added a few more paperclips. Mike being the non-CREW member Social Conveener for CREW (he is in charge of collecting lottery money and birthday cake money) added two plastic knives.
Below are photos of people on their day. I apologize to Meaza. I have lost your photo somewhere on my computer. I know I have a copy at work. I will post it ASAP.
Here is Frida. She was the second victim, er I mean lucky person to wear the crown (Meaza was the first).
Here is Pierre. He was the first to have his photo with the Job Discontinuance countdown calendar.
Here is Don his day. I thought he was the happiest person to wear the crown...
... Until it was Sunny Day.
Danny is practicing his team photo pose for when he gets signed by Toronto FC. Which will be soon based on their recent play. Heck, I could do better. Okay not really but now that Danny Dichio is almost healthy things may improve. And poor Jimmy Brennan playing with broken ribs and a broken wrist. Sorry I got a little distracted there. Here is Danny...
It is like Samah was born wearing a crown...
Zakia had lucky Day 50 as her day. Unfortunately Zakia was already training for her new job on her day. Kristy has been very sad since Day 50. Maybe October can be Koko Kipp month to make her happy. Look how happy one day made Julie, a month should fix Kipp up.
Does anyone else think that Meena is related to Vanna White? I wonder how Meena would look as a blond?
As Jim said "Once you have Jusino Day, you have Jusino them all." Meena gave Jusino some posing tips.
Okay so Mike is not a member of CREW, but he does have to put up with us. So he got a day. Can you see Meena's influence. The guy from London took the pose to a whole new level.
I'll post the next patch of days, once a few have happened.More later
