1) Today is Administrative Professionals Day. If you've ever unjammed a Xerox machine, filed reams of paper, or entered useless data into a computer all day--then more power to you. You rock. I rock. We deserve doughnuts or something! Bosses here don't recognize this holiday. It's written on the cheap Office Depot desk calendars we all have. They obviously don't consult these calendars. They use (I know for a fact they do) fancy leather-bound day planners.
2) Today was also the day that I got recognized for being at Mills for FIVE YEARS, BABY! They had a reception (with cake and lemonade) for all of us, the old timers. A bunch of us made it to five years, but there were others who were getting recognized for 10, 15, 25 and 35 years! Now those people have stamina. There were times when I thought I wouldn't make it this far, but hey, it's worth having a little party for. The President was there and she said nice things about me in front of everybody (one of my bosses wrote it down for her though). Then she gave me a handshake, a certificate of appreciation, a rose, and a medallion!
Did you hear me people? I said she gave me a medallion! Look:
And the best part is that it is inscribed on the back!!
Isn't that awesome?!! I'm so tempted to punch a hole through it so I can hang that thing around my neck like an Olympic medal and wear it every day. It's pretty big--about the size of a cookie. And if I make it to ten years and get another medallion, I'm gonna punch a hole in that one too and have a matching set of earrings! But seriously. This whole time they've been giving out little lapel pins to the 5-year people. I'm so thrilled by this medallion concept.
Ahhhhh. It's so nice to get recognized every once in a while.
