As you all know, I called in sick yesterday. Turns out the Finance department was supposed to have a group meeting which I figured I missed. Until I got to work and found out it had been rescheduled for today. I surmised it was because so many people took yesterday off. I couldn’t have guessed it was because *I* was the guest of honor!<\/p>\n
Turns out I won my company’s monthly indispensability award. Boy, did my face turn red when it was announced and all attention turned to me! I had to go to the front of the room and have my picture taken with the CFO.<\/p>\n
Ironically, I had just pointed out this morning to two girls in Collections how no one from Finance had won yet and we needed to “represent”. ;)<\/p>\n
Now, I’ve won the quarterly Finance award (twice, in fact), but this is company-wide; i.e. lots of recognition. Not only did I get my picture on the company’s intranet, I got a plaque, a check for $500, and a high five from the CFO who nominated me. <\/p>\n
After our CEO sent an e-mail to the rest of the company making the announcement, I also got lots of nice e-mails from my colleagues congratulating me and expressing how much they felt I deserved the recognition. It was really nice to hear. I still have the warm fuzzies thinking about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
