Of course, it’s a week into the month, and I’ve already lost seven days’ use of the primo parking spot, but I’m okay with that. I’ve got a shiny plaque with my name on it and a company-wide e-mail with a dancing bear.
I’m slightly bummed because I was told there’s supposed to be a cash bonus, but I didn’t get that.
But hey, I thought I was gonna get fired (every manager in the company in one room, and they call me in?), and instead they gave me a plaque. That’s pretty cool. 
If I was you I would quit. I would tell them that you don’t want to work anywhere that has best employees like you.
Congrats!
My brother was made “employee of the month” by the company he works for, and also “temp of the month” by his ageny. He got £20 and a mobile phone. I don’t know how he managed it. (He sleeps through his alarm unless someone hears it and goes and wakes him up.)
Correction, it’s not a dancing bear, it’s a snowman throwing a snowball.
(And somebody told me that the bonus will probably show up in my paycheck this week–wooooo!)
Better criteria? Clearly, they have recognized the need to reward geek-girl hotties of the highest caliber.
… did I just say “Hottie”?
I really need to lay off the MTV…
S’okay, I really don’t mind.
Well, yeah, I know, but I just thought I could do better, vocabulary-wise. 
Oh. Well, then, I encourage you to come up with flowery euphemisms for me being a hottie.
Hmmm…
Shall I compare thee to a Summer’s Day?
Thou hast no mosquitoes and less chance of rain.
No, not quite…
I’ve won three times at three different companies! Not lately, though. $50 one time, $100 another, and I still have the coffee cup from Service Merchandise. Funny thing - most every retail place I worked for has gone out of business. Hmmm…
sniffle That may be the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me …
Well, then. My work here is done.
