SMALL RECOGNITION

i have worked at my current job for about 3.2 years.  i have only been late once, only called in sick twice and have called in due to emergency four times (when my car was repo'd and when i was evicted from my house).  i have done my job well, even been a team player, but not once have i have been recognized for anything.  one time i volunteered to work overnight with two other employees, setting new planograms and though we all worked all night till 7 am, they got recognized, i didn't.  ok, i am not in this for recognition, but when people who slack and goof off and are late constantly get recognized for being "ever constant and on time" and i don't get recognized, you get a little riled......................

recently i made the mistake of allowing my general manager to know i had the talent of bow making.  since i raised a daughter, i could do it single handed, eyes closed.  of course that same daughter is almost 21 and wouldn't let me get near her with a bow today.  i love that little redneck darlin', lol.  it is fall and christmas time, and so there are alot of bows that have to be made for both selling and holiday wreaths.  so.........when the floral designer couldn't keep up with the demand, the general manager asked around to get people to do bows.  the floral designer liked mine best, so i became the "bow captain".  now every spare minute i have while waiting on customers, i have to be making bows.....................and i GOT RECOGNIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!  of course, the recognition was only on the board for two days....................sigh....................

ok, i have tooted my horn long enough.

its almost all hallow's eve..............boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
