Party...
I'm going to some kind of a farewell party for my boss. He won't be leaving the company, just changing his office, so we'll see him around anyway. My co-workers have prepared some surprises for him, and even wrote a song! I feel uncomfortable with the whole thing. It looks like a cult boss. Do we worship him or what?? We can have lunch, even exchange small presents but actually SING something to him and have some sort of magician perform for him??? Too much.

I assume "changing offices" means moving another location and where he will no longer be your direct supervisor.
I don't find it odd that a highly popular boss would have his crew go all out for him.
Maybe "changing his office" means getting a promotion, in which case this party might be what is known as "kissing up."
Just a thought.
Well, in my opionion... I think I would feel a little uncomfortable with the singing and stuff because it isn't like he's retiring or anything, you are still seeing him around... he's just changing offices. Give the guy a nice watch and say, "see ya around" and go back to work... just my view, that's all... that's what we would do around here... :)
"changing offices" is probably not the right way to say it. My English... As Buff said, he's moving to another location in the same building, and it's some sort of a promotion so we will see him everyday anyway. That's why it felt strange (to me) to dedicate him a fake front page of a newspaper, have someone perform tricks without him knowing and even singing to him. I didn't sing, I assumed the role of recording everything which gave me the perfect excuse to watch everything from behind a camera... ;-) He's nice, and he's always willing to help, but I just felt it was too much. Maybe "kissing up", as James said??
Michele, that's what I would be comfortable with, too. Not all this. He seemed amused but also overwhelmed...
Now that I think about it... I've always felt strange in this kind of situations. Outside looking in. Maybe I'm just bitter. I used to think being hypocritical was bad but as I grow older, I realise the need to lie more and more... the need to smile even if you don't feel like it. Guess I'm feeling strange. My parents are coming today for lunch...
11 days, eh?!
*missing Nuri*
Hope all is well!
Nuri: Where have you been? Is everything okay?
Nuri?????
Why have you abandoned us?

Hey, sorry!! Everything's fine here! (see post above) :-)
