July the 10th and the Days that Have Preceded it Since I Last Posted

It is the 10th, meaning I have 48 days between now and the day I get to go back home. (Not counting today or the Day of Much Driving itself.)

Not a whole lot going on. The other day I won the "Justin Mosier Employee Appreciation Award." It was the first of the season. It is the same sort of award I was the first to win last year, only now it has a really long name because of the death of a beloved employee. Last year I got a surplus backpack with "South Dakota" embroidered on it. They got handed out during some convention to guests, and I guess we had an extra. I filled it with gift packs and took it to school with me and was kept in shampoo and detergent all year.

This year it Sandy (the lady who is in charge of it this year because Justin was related to her I think...) asked me what I wanted so I ended up with a $25 gift card and some other stuff on the side. The card she gave me had a puppy on it, and she asked me if I like puppies.

I replied, "I am a human being, of course I like puppies."

I like puppies.

Anyway, this means I have won Employee of the Month, Excellent Customer Service Award, and now the Justin Award. What I have not gotten is a motherfucking raise. Sandy wrote some nice stuff in the card though, and that made me feel good.

I realized that it really helps to work in a place if you feel like you are appreciated.


What else...

Um...

Wow I'm boring.
