Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

I would rock, if there was to be any rocking, but there isn't

Something at work today reminded me of my brush with glory a couple of years ago.

Management decided we should have an employee of the month. It was for the usual reasons: hard work, team player, never threatens to go postal, etc. The lucky employee was going to get a reserved prime parking space for the month, and maybe a plaque or something. The plaque didn't matter, but parking was a bit of a bitch in that building, so the primo parking spot was actually a pretty good award.

Well, the program never got off the ground...not team oriented, unmotivating, not fair to staff who took public transportation, etc.

But my boss did say "Nic, we've decided not to do the Employee of the Month award. But if we had done it, you would have been the first Employee of the Month."
