What? You look puzzled. Didn't you know that it's the Iranian New Year? Well, now you do.
One of the things I like about my job is the incredible diversity of the employees here. A few months back, a co-worker from Ethiopia took a bunch of us out to an Ethiopian restaurant to celebrate the retirement of my old boss. Today, it was Iran's turn. I have a number of co-workers who were born in Iran, and every year they invite a bunch of us to join them for lunch at an Iranian restaurant to celebrate the Iranian New Year. Today, a group of about two dozen people from our work unit piled into a bunch of cars and went out to celebrate. We had a variety of Iranian dishes to sample, and I believe we all left the restaurant wishing we were headed home for a nap instead of back to the office to work. The food was fabulous, and the conversation included discussions of Iranian New Year's traditions. All-in-all, quite a fun lunch.
