Today we had a staff meeting, something that all other employees in any type of business will know as a general waste of time as the boss(es) attempt to communicate knowledge which could have been gained in a five second email. However, making us sit through the meeting has the added bonus of knowing that we all have gained the knowledge, I guess...
Every month they announce the 'Employee of the Month' award. Imagine my surprise, and embarassment, when the May choice is ME! That's right, I have finally won an Employee of the Month award - and I have to say it is about damn time. Not for this job, but for any job!! I worked at Bethel for 6 years, 6 years!!! and was never actually recognized in any sort of formal award (although I did get a very nice going away party). And I worked for 4 years at Kohls and was also never recognized even though I was nice (nice, I tell you NICE!) to all my lousy, mean, throwing staplers, customers. But I am glad I got the award here because I have a BEAUTIFUL plaque with my name on it... perhaps I will take a picture and post it on here soon.
So, congratulations me, because I am awesome and work damn hard! (although I was too surprised and embarassed to express this sentiment when I got my award in front of all the other staff members)
