Boss' Dinner with Co-Workers

Well, my boss submitted his two weeks notice at the end of March and he wanted to treat his awesome team for dinner.

We all decided on Cha Cha's out in the Tustin Marketplace.

Since this is the start to a sad goodbye to our kick ass team, we started off with drinks. I ordered myself the large Sangria.

My boss and our co-worker, Diana, both ordered a large Margarita and my other co-worker, Edgar, got himself a Martini. He was jelly though when he saw our large glasses. Hahaha.

With drinks on the table, we all started reminiscing about the good ol' days at work. Our boss, JJ, even let us read his resignation letter. He basically dropped the mic, but professionally. He called out people who needed to be and gave proper thanks to those that did their best to keep the company up and running.

Then our food came out and we all enjoyed, food, drinks and good company. The Enchiladas were all 50% off for their happy hour special, so that's what everyone ordered.

All of us, except JJ, ordered the Shrimp and Crab Enchilada.

He ordered the Three Enchilada Combination, which basically had one Shrimp and Crab, one Chicken and one Cheese.

This was a sad goodbye to our team, but we said we'd all keep in touch and meet up every now and then too. Because we basically were co-workers turned friends.

Susie's Official Last Day

We surprised Susie at the old lab for her very last day. They still process a few samples out there since we have the lease agreement until March. They just moved all the office personnel to the new location to get ahead of the game.

Anyhow, here we all are for her last day.

We even got a surprise visit and show from Rommel, our IT guy!

Lunch Date - Susie's Leaving Us

Had a lunch date with a bunch of co-workers since Susie, the accessioning manager, is leaving us.

We decided on Ra Sushi out here in Tustin. I didn't want to order a huge thing and, of course, wanted something healthy.

I ended up ordering their Chirashi Poke, which is tuna, salmon, yellowtail and shrimp with cucumber, avocado and green onion in poke sauce, topped with seaweed salad and sesame seeds. It comes with rice, but I ended up substituting that for a salad instead.

It was super delish, but dang, I wish I had double the servings of fish.

Goodbye Dinner

Went out for a few drinks and dinner with co-workers to say byeee to Janessa. She's leaving our team :(

We started with a few drinks at the boss' apartment and then headed to Red O for delicious food and pitchers of Margaritas.
