The view from my desk is daunting today

Before was bad enough:

 

After is absolutely atrocious:

When the lawyers clean off their desks, mine gets a bit buried.

...and they doubted!

The orchid blooms!

As the newbie in the legal department, I was given the impossible task of caring for the legal department orchid, which was, as Miracle Max would say, mostly dead. They told me it was useless, that it was a joke, that it was just a dried up old twig. They laughed, they lectured, and yet I persevered. After nearly six months of once weekly waterings and basking in the light of the window at the back of my cubicle, a flower stalk shot up at the beginning of April. I crossed my fingers. They raised their eyebrows. Now I shall lay the proof before them and they shall all be speechless (which seems much more impressive when you realize that the majority of them are attorneys).

All hail my green thumb!

tee hee hee.
