Today is my 25th anniversary at my job. I was surprised that everyone was making such a big deal about it. It actually means a lot to me, but I didn’t think anyone else really cared. There was a balloon with a brownie on my desk from my office mate and friend Therese, the company brought me a bunch of fancy cupcakes and another coworker, Rita, brought me flowers.
I confess, I feel very happy and content at my job for the first time in a long time. I had so many people say such kind words to me. People really do care, and sometimes I forget that. Or maybe I'm feeling so warm and fuzzy becasue I just have a sugar high from the 2 cupcakes I ate?
They are going to set a date to take me out to lunch.
By the way, I am an estimator at a large commercial printer. It is both a tough job because you need to know so much—and a very easy one most of the time—when you have been doing it as long as me. I enjoy it because I love numbers.
I don't expect to be hear another 25 years--I plan to retire in 14. That's not as long as it sounds because the first 25 went so fast.
My sister and I have 3 horses that we trail ride--a Morab, a Morgan and a Morgan mix. This blog is all about them. By the way, check out my two books "Trail Training for the Horse and Rider" and "Trail Horse Adventures and Advice. I also have the most adorable, loveable cat named Thunder. I call him a mini Maine Coon. He is the light of my life when things go wrong. He will always listen to me and try to comfort and cheer me up. He does a pretty good job of it, too.
Cool! Happy 25th anniversary! It is nice when people show that they care. I forget that as well. The people around me in my daily life seem so self absorbed, then again I guess I can be that way too but I do make a genuine effort to really listen to people, so maybe I don't give that impression. Not sure.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where they're taking you to dinner. I hope it's good and you have fun. :)
