Ribbon cutting and ground breaking ceremonies are death on a stick. It's best to arrive early or stay late to get anything other than the ficticious "event."
Both types of ceremonies are unimaginative and cliche. Consequently, PJs need to really work them hard to eliminate any possibility of seeing their name under an image of someone cheesing the camera with oversized, cardboard scissors or folks in suits and skirts wearing brand new, cheap hardhats with a foot on a gold-painted shovel.

Good job making something out of nothing. I'm sure management appreciates this more than they would the ribbon-cutting or grip-and-grins.
uggg! just thinking about grip n grins and ribbon cutting makes me gag! I constantly pound my head against the wall and scream, " WHY? WHO thought that this was Ever a good idea?"
