Exams, recognition and yay promotions?
It is now Week 3 of my 4-week exam study plan and the panic is sort of starting to set in (at the disco). I guess it's good that I have a one-on-one meeting first thing tomorrow morning with the guy who knows how this exam works...hopefully he will be helpful and let me know if I'm doing anything wrong... Man, this exam is annoying. Again. Bah!
In more pleasant news, the Harry Potter forum on which I am a co-moderator, The Dark Mark, announced today that I won Staff Member of the Month for August! That completely made my day, gave me the warm fuzzies and all that. :D It's always great hearing that your efforts are appreciated. I don't normally win things like that because usually I either don't have enough time, or I prefer to just keep my involvement at a minimum. But since I became a moderator, I've felt it is my duty to help out when I can, and mostly it's been pretty fun. :D
It seems that every time we go to choose staff members for the Most Loyal Death Eater award, it gets harder every time. This time was no exception. Although Sara and I had chosen this recipiant before Kylie joined our ranks as admin, she completely agreed with our decision and could think of no one more deserving for this months Most Loyal Death Eater Award, and that award for this month goes out to Juliet!
Juliet has been with us ever since she won the gaming month for the house of Malfoy, and the prize was she got to be a staff member of her house. She's been extremely busy with school since then, and yet somehow managed to find the time to continue doing her staff duties in there, and help out in the staff room whenever she could spare the moment. Her efforts in that regard have been very consistent since she joined, but it was this month that really blew us all away. Juliet's involvement in helping her house out in the Hogwarts Quest, and her dedication to staff work have skyrocketed, despite having major tests she needs to study for, she somehow still manages to find the time to keep an eye on things. Not only that, but she has wow'd the admins by her first step into the world of fanfiction, not only to help our site grow, but to test herself and her writing abilities (which are outstanding, btw :P) and for that we truly thank Juliet for all her hard work by giving her the award this month :)
Hopefully I'll still be able to do as well when I start going back to work...
Yeah, that's another thing that's worrying - after the exam is over, we all have to go back to work. And this job - it's like every day is a new job, and every year it gets harder. I'm gonna be a Senior Accountant when I go back, which will definitely be new... More responsibilities, less time to do it in... yeah, I'm not looking forward to that at all.
EDIT (09/02/08): Added the actual text of the post that caused the warm fuzzies. ;)
