The retirement party for my big boss went well. I was a bit concerned the turnout might be small on account of the season, but it was quite respectable; former employees (some of whom I haven't seen in years) showed up to make up for the absence of some of the current crew. The food was generous, but except for the desserts it came from the local crap Cantonese place she inexplicably adores. The cake was fantastic and there were pastries from Meinl to boot. The number and length of speeches felt about right, though strangely her own boss said nothing. The only truly prepared remarks, in fact, came from the head of a completely different division where she's never worked (but whom she has done a lot of valuable work for in her time).
