So, I'm sitting at my desk today, when my supervisor comes up and hands me an envelope. It says on the outside, in the Yahoo! Purple,
Handle with care. Holiday cheer inside.
I shrug and open it, figuring it's another tchotchtke.
Wow, was I surprised.
Inside is a card with a code. This code allows us Yahoo! employees to donate $100 to the charity of our choice for the holidays.
I'm still stunned over this. I mean, I love my work...we have a community outreach program, we have a Gay Pride shareholders group, and it's a great place to work in general. I never thought that it would enable me to give to a cause I supported this easily, though.
For the record, in case anyone's curious, the charity I donated to was Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization For Power, Inc. (CHAMP). Information available
here.
Yes, I love my job indeedy.
