Someone eats cake standing up
Everyone back at their desks

Handshake from the manager
Honoree thanks the team
Coworkers stop by the desk
Photo taken at their desk
Someone says time flew
Chat fills with congrats

Someone asks who is next

Announced in a team meeting
Gift catalog to pick from
Years counted on fingers

Hire date looked up
Started as a temp story
Four managers in that time
Old logo on a mug
Wrong number of years said
Recalls the old dress code

Honoree takes a call anyway
Old boss sends a message
Deadline comes up anyway

The old desk pointed out
Their kid was a baby
