Why I Love My Job

Dec 15, 2006 12:22

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.
