It seems there are several reasons to celebrate here in our office this week. Tuesday we celebrated a birthday, yesterday we said goodbye to a coworker and today we're opening our doors to family and friends for a Halloween party.

While we take our work very seriously, we do acknowledge that it is important to celebrate certain milestones and holidays. Don't worry, we don't get carried away with our celebrations. But after a long morning of work, it's nice to take a short break and share some cake in honor of a coworker's birthday.

What do you think? Is there room for celebrations in the workplace? Does your workplace celebrate birthdays? Holidays? Other milestones? How so?
