a little surprise

all week, i'd been bitching about this dumb "staff appreciation" event i had to go to yesterday. as i was telling ej, it's become less and less of an actual "event" with each passing year...supposedly due to budget constraints, but it has really just felt like we're just appreciated less and less...i.e., depreciated.

so what happens? first, i win an ohio state football autographed by
the only two-time heisman winner, in the raffle. then, i win one of this year's two "outstanding service and achievement" awards, consisting of a plaque and a check for (after taxes) $500!! a few months ago, i had joked with a couple of my colleagues that i was going to campaign for the award, but it really was just a joke. you see, along with a couple of co-workers, i have a "history" with this department that involves a formal complaint against our boss, so...i had figured that, even if i deserved the award, i'd never get it.

as someone wise once said, wonders never cease. i am grateful.
