A slightly downbeat hello this week,
In the aftermath of the recent choking incident, our team decided to seek solace at Gretal's, the nearby café, over artisan coffee and peppermint tea, aiming to put the dramatic episode behind us. As we huddled together discussing the peculiar message 'I know what you did,' speculation filled the air. Despite the shock, we decided against involving the police, deeming it a potential one off incident or a misguided prank. Polly mentioned she thought she’d seen the peculiar penguin cufflink before but couldn't pinpoint where.
Suddenly events took another unexpected twist when Steve, still visibly shaken from his near-death experience, abruptly stood up, fixating on Gretal's counter. His wide-eyed stare was directed at a chocolate cupcake behind the glass, which bore a striking resemblance to the one that contained the cufflink and note. Steve, struggling to articulate his thoughts, eventually managed to convey his concern. Josh swiftly called Gretal over, questioning if she was the creator of these potentially ominous treats.
In a defensive tone, Gretal responded, "No, I got them in Costco," casting a peculiar glance at our table before retreating to the kitchen. The revelation that the sender might possess a Costco membership dawned upon us, prompting Douglas to astutely observe, "That narrows it down a bit." The lingering mystery deepens, leaving us to ponder not only the origin of the cupcakes but also the cryptic message.
In the midst of all the drama though, we're thrilled to share some uplifting news – our very own Jeremy (my dad!) has been nominated for the title of "Inspirational Construction Leader of the Year!" This exciting recognition is a testament to the remarkable growth our company has experienced under his leadership in just under a year.
The prospect of Jeremy winning not only fills us with pride but also opens the door to exciting opportunities, including the potential to meet royalty! The anticipation is palpable, and we can't help but imagine the countless business prospects that could unfold if Jeremy secures the award. Stay tuned for an exclusive interview with Jeremy next week, where we'll delve into his journey, leadership insights, and what this nomination means for the future of our thriving company.
Until next week, Rebecca x
