In better news:
I was at my desk, work, work working away when my phone rang. I noticed that the caller ID showed an in-house phone number, and thought, hmmmm...whose calling me? When I answered, it was my boss, saying " Um...the 2nd Quarter Awards Ceremony is about to begin downstairs and your presence is requested, ma'am"
I was feeling a bit embarrassed that I had forgotten to set a calendar reminder on my Outlook, and apologized and hurried on down to the conference room. I hate to enter a room last, because then everyone turns to look at who is coming in late. I hate having all eyes on me. So anyfiddle, I walk in, sit down and BAM!! I'm being handed an award! I got Specialist of the 2nd Quarter Award! Woo Hoo!
Great, give the new girl the award and piss off all the people who've been there for years. LOL Oh well.
My WWC will be posted later...check back!
Congrats on your award! It's not as cool as a raise, but it's still nice to be recognized for something. ;-)
Wow...congrats! Here's hoping it came with a $$$ Bonus!
Yay for surprise awards! Those are the best. Much better than expecting an award you never get.

Congrats on your award! Go ahead - shake those old timers up - good for you!
Whoo Hoo! I know your work ethic! Anyone who holds down a full time job and is going to school at the same time deserves credit! And then, you win an award on top of it all. Congrats!!!
