Playday Friday

A little bit of foam board cut into 6” squares, glue, magnets…..and magazines to cut up--  It was Playday Friday and we had more than just the two we normally have.  Seems we’re the ‘in’ place to be on Fridays.  They don’t check in with me, of course—they check in with my ever so kind buddy. She’s the one who calls when we do it.  I wait for her, cuz I don’t know her workload and mine isn’t so great I can’t participate—until the end of the month happens.  Then I scramble.

We had the cool IT dudes and secretary and a couple gals who actually use the visitors cubes.  We’ll be using the collages on magnets to decorate the visitor’s cubes.  This week it’s the beach cube that I’ve been collecting stuff for here and there.  My buddy snagged the cube across from her so she can enjoy the view.  A beach ball, shells, a bucket and shovel—some shiny blue glass tossed in, and a basket, of course.  She’s thrilled she got to assemble it.  I’m thrilled she’s thrilled.  And in the process, we make another visitor’s space…FUN and cool…..and fun to look at even when it’s empty.

It’s kinda nice to be able to call a ‘time out’ for the professionals.  Sometimes they seem to be taking life too seriously.  And I suspect they’re just as lousy as I can be when it comes to taking care of themselves.  So……..it’s good we’re getting a few ‘takers’ for Playday Friday.  And it’s good the end result is some ownership for how things look in this little space that we work in.

And it’s REALLY GOOD that I got to play with glue and stuff.  Oh……and I only got told twice that I wasn’t to run with the scissors.

Hahaha….did!  Well……maybe not ‘run’……but I did walk faster.  :-P
