Today I got called to a meeting by my boss. It was at the main facility about a mile away. All the big wigs in the company were there.... and me.
The meeting was called to order and the CEO calls my name. Okay, he is also a Hematopathologist, so I know him (I work in Pathology). I said something very wise and witty like, "Er, yes?"
He asked me to come to the front. I asked, sort of jokingly, if I was in trouble, and everyone in the room laughed. He says, "You're going to be part of this presentation."
Me - *gulp* "Okay". Mind you, I am wearing my old jeans with the bleach spot on them, no makeup and I forgot my security badge. Also, I left for work with my hair wet because I was running late - dry then, but curled? Not exactly. Yeah, I was looking really pretty. Argh.
*tromps up to front of room*
Him - "Congratulations!! You are Employee of the Month for July."
We have 1200 employees, in six different buildings. I stood there while they read all kinds of nice things about me. It is apparently not possible to actually die of embarrassment, but I tried.
Still, very cool. I was completely surprised, and flattered, and shocked, and stunned, and ... you get the picture.
Go me??
Still blushing!!
