Good Day, My Dear Hivers!
Preparing Our Christmas Decorations
At this time, I was still assigned to the Accounting Office, and this happened in November 2023. Since decorations should be up before December, we felt a bit pressured because the neighboring offices had already put up theirs.
Late-Night Decorating Sessions
Since we were busy during the day handling customers and paperwork, we could only decorate at night. Some of the working students had evening classes, which is pretty common in college life, so we had to adjust our schedule.
There were eight of us working in the office, but only three were available that night, so we took the initiative to start the decorations.
Brainstorming and Funny Moments
We brainstormed and searched for design ideas on Google. Eventually, we came up with a fun idea—printing pictures of the office staff and working students from the finance team and adding red Christmas hats to each one.
The first thing we did was find their pictures and print a sample to check the size for the hats. While printing, we couldn’t stop laughing because the images looked funny. But since it was already late at night, one of our senior colleagues reminded us:
"Let's lower our voices, guys. It's already late, and Ma'am is still at the back."
That was our signal to focus on our work and keep it down.
A Quick Selfie and a Little Disappointment
After some time, we started feeling tired, so one of us suggested:
"Let’s take a selfie and send it to the group chat. Maybe they’ll finish their classes early and join us."
Unfortunately, nobody showed up. After spending a few hours decorating, we all decided to go home and just continue the next day.
Enjoying the Moment
To be honest, I was having so much fun chatting with my coworkers and looking for ideas that I didn’t even realize how late it was.
While working, we also chatted about random things and played music on the office PC at a slightly high volume. By that time, our supervisor had already left, so we embrace the moment, even singing a duet to make the night feel livelier.
And that’s all, my dear Hivers!
Thank you for reading!
Regardless if the others did not show up, good thing the three of you did and had the initiative. It would have been finished faster if a lot of people would have been working hand in hand and have teamwork, but since not everyone came, still a good job for you and congratulations on a job well done!🫡👏
Yeah, teamwork would’ve made it faster, but at least we got it done! Appreciate the support! 🎉
It looks like it was a fun day at the office. Love to see the magic of Christmas in the air. Miss it already
Definitely a fun day! Christmas vibes always bring a special kind of magic. Miss it too! 🎄✨
