Hey! I got your note about the office book exchange. Honestly, I think rotating them every other month works way better than every month because nobody was finishing their picks in time. I brought in a couple of paperbacks from home last week - one of them is that older spy novel with the ocean on the cover, and the other is a travel essay collection about small towns in Ireland.

Someone left a sticky note on the break room counter asking if we could collect votes for the next theme before Friday. I think the only tricky part is that the third floor keeps forgetting to put their selections on the cart by the elevator, so maybe we just leave a basket there on Tuesday mornings and stop relying on email reminders. I'm also happy to refresh the little "currently reading" list by the coffee machine if you have the list handy.

In terms of timing, Wednesday after lunch is usually quiet enough. If you want, I can fold the table sign and make a small sign on bright paper so more people see where to add recommendations. That might solve most of the "I didn't know about it" comments we keep hearing. Let me know if there's a better system you had in mind, otherwise I'll go ahead and set things up for next week.

So I was looking at the photos from the weekend trail walk, and a few of them turned out surprisingly well for a phone camera. The ones near the overlook have that soft golden hour look, and the ones by the old wooden bridge look almost like a painting. I think the best one is the one with the two dogs just sitting on the rocks and staring at the trail like they're deciding which way to go. You said you wanted to print a few for the hallway, and I think those would be great choices for the small frames we have in the storage closet.

If you want, I can stop by the print shop on Thursday and get a set made in a light matte finish so they don't glare under the hallway lights. The other thought I had was maybe we could clip one of the wider shots to the notice board with a little note about the next group hike, just so more people notice it. I know the board gets crowded, but the scenic ones usually stand out.

I also remember you mentioned swapping out the old bird feeder pole near the back window. That seems like a quick weekend project if the ground isn't too wet. I can bring an extra post digger if you still need one, and maybe we can tackle it before noon on Saturday. Should be pretty simple and then we can test the new seed mix in the blue feeder.
