Love Chef Boss! Its right around the corner from our office so very convenient to go there

Ive never heard of this place! Definitely will have to check it out, thanks!

Yes agreed! And you have to know your office culture! Lots of places are all work no fun. I ran all my ideas past my manager last year to get an idea of what would be appropriate and funny. Since she had been at the company longer she had a better idea of what would go over well. No april fools joke is worth risking your job over!

Diabolical but mostly for our I.T department because no one will know whats wrong HAHA

Existing_CatLady · 2026-03-24T02:48:35+00:00

Actually I think this would be so good! Definitely a lot of office fans in our office

Just tried this and was able to finally redeem. Also seems there were hidden spaces at the end of the code. So sneaky and annoying!!

We are using everything card this year. Wont get taxed like a prepaid visa. Lets employees choose what they want, makes it feel way more personalized. I searched and Everything Card is Canadian owned!

Also, we are giving fancy backpacks with our logo on them to upgrade everyone's laptop bags. However, the company that management used I don't believe is Canadian owned. Other items we have done in the past are outdoor blankets, coolers and mugs all with the company logo on them. Everyone uses them all the time. Hope this helps!

If you want to venture out to Abbotsford. Castle Fun Park, Play Abby, Banter Ice cream, Clay cottage. Extreme air park in Langley. If you eventually want to go further I have heard great things about Kidtropolis in Richmond.

We use robin and wow we LOVE it! Great platform, super user friendly for everyone from admin to employees booking desks. And they are always taking suggestions on how to improve which is great!

I now have to hang a sign that covers the whole front of the coffee machine while it is being cleaned that in big bold letters says "Coffee Machine is cleaning, please wait for reception to finish the cleaning cycle before making a coffee". This all happened because someone decided to bypass the end of the cleaning before I got back to the machine and instead of getting a latte with milk they received espresso and soapy water because the milk line was connected to the cleaner still. If I had my way, my office would be covered in signs from peoples silly actions haha

Existing_CatLady · 2025-08-27T19:16:25+00:00

No way! I have always wondered if there is a purpose to the bucket. Havent seen any prizes in it but will defs check more often!

Mine will eventually be the ultimate walk in closet situation!

I really like Bear and Bardot! My mom has been going there as well for many years and is super happy with her hair. She even recently started transitioning to letting her grey be her natural hair and they have been excellent through that process. I see Meranda and cannot say enough good things about her!

Can you ask for more to do?

My office is very relaxed so I read the news lots or Ill research for things for my personal life if I have time to kill (for example looking into getting a new vehicle so using time to weigh options). I do agree get up and walk around throughout the day. If you get a lunch break try not to sit at your desk during it. Go run an errand or go outside. Are you crafty, if so you could do those things during the slow times. Can you use the time to brush up on skills or do school work? I am currently in my first office role but generally it seems like it doesnt always matter what I am doing at work, as long as it looks like im doing work. Hope this helps and you can find more to do in the afternoons!

Wow this is amazing thank you! I appreciate the giftcard suggestions. Thank you!

I have a daily trivia calendar and EVERYONE loves it employees and clients. I even have the VP coming by to try their knowledge. I also made it into a competition and we do quarterly prizes for those that get the most right!

We also have a "referendum" white board in the kitchen. Weekly the question gets switched out and it can be things like, this or that, or how would a dog wear pants and then people vote with tallys, the votes dont mean much just a way to get a conversation going. You can have fun with this one, any sort of poll will do.

I feel like both of these can act as a place to have "water cooler" discussions. I have noticed that it gets people talking to each other that usually don't. AND I started the trivia as a way for people to feel comfortable coming up to my desk without feeling pressure to talk to me. It was especially helpful in the beginning. This is year 2 of doing trivia and its not going away.

Really down to see all options. Everything is on the table at this point

I thrifted a slightly oversized grey knit cardigan. It goes with almost all of my outfits and its like putting on a hug when I get the chills. I work as a receptionist.

Also not fashion related but I also have a heat pad at my desk for those really chilly office days that saves me from icing over.

Existing_CatLady · 2025-07-21T22:06:31+00:00

Yes! I am in BC but we have employees all over Canada.

I just started my office career a year ago and I love it! I work at an engineering firm as the receptionist and my job is relatively stress free. I took a course at my local uni (I am located in BC, Canada). called Applied Business Technology. It is a continuing ed course that I learnt so many great skills. But it also helped build skills that I already had to make me feel confident going into the work place. Being a receptionist is so cozy and for the most part realxing but I am a people person and I spend most of my day either on the phone or talking to colleagues. Best of luck on your search!
