employee of the month

Okay, so today was my 10 year anniversary where I work. At my five year mark, I received a paper weight. Now this wasn't just your ordinary paper weight..No it was 100% glass, not the crystal kind you see at that store with the fancy box..you know the place. Well today I was presented with a watch for my 10 year mark. Now this wasn't your ordinary watch like you see at that store with the fancy box, no it was 100% plastic. Wow, I can't wait for that gift at 15 years, maybe it will be good enough to re-gift at Xmas time.

Now some places like Home Depot give out employee of the month awards. I personally have never earned that title, I guess I just do enough to get by. However, at Home Depot if you are employee of the month you get a parking space reserved for you for an entire month. Now this isn't just any parking space, we are talking prime real estate. Even better than those spaces for handicap people. I know this since I tried to park in one the other day at Home Depot..I was so excited when I drove down that parking lot lane..O BOY LOOKS LIKE FOUR SPACES RIGHT UP FRONT, my lucky day..But no, all four were reserved for employee of the month..

Now all four of these spaces were empty, I guess part of the package of being selected is a week off also..So what's up, I get a stupid plastic watch, but if I worked at Home Depot I could get a reserved parking place for one entire month + a week off..I'm switching jobs tomorrow..
