First, I get a broadcast email from my manager that another coworker's wife had their baby today. Next, I get another broadcast email from a coworker announcing a surprise baby shower for yet another coworker. Now someone on FB just posted a "5 things you didn't know about me", the last being that her son is going to be a big brother.
They say things come in threes, so hopefully that's the last for today. Just gotta laugh at the universe sometimes.
So GP, go ahead and add your own "5 things you didn't know about me". Just no PR announcements, k? :P
