Happy Anniversery To Me -OT

Let me explain. Yesterday, I came to work late, because I had an appointment. When I got to my desk, I sent my boss an e-mail saying I was in the office (12 Noon). She replied that she wanted to see me at 1 pm. My first thoughts were "OH ! What did I do now?" Went to work and at 5 minutes to 1 I went to her office. Got there and she said to come in and close the door. (Another "Oh !"). So I sat down and she started with, "Kim, I believe you recently celebrated an anniversary, correct? Was it 15 years or 20?" I said, "20". She continued with,
"The firm wants to thank you for your service for the past 20 years by giving you a gift."
Out comes the Tiffany bag from under her desk. I was floored!
She told me that she wanted to thank me personally and on behalf of the firm. I was flattered.
She wanted to see what the gift was , so I opened it. The firm had given me a silver Tiffany necklace with a dangling "T", "&" and "Co"; it was beautiful. The only thing that I don't like is the fact that it is on a 16" chain (I am not complaining)! My boss told me that I could exchange it for something else (which I plan to do- I want a bracelet with a heart/lock on it). Enclosed with the necklace was a note card expressing gratitude for my many years of service. That was really nice of them to recognize me (and a few others) especially in these tough economic times.

If I think about it, I will bring it to coffee with me tomorrow.

It sure is good C'ING LESS OF ME!

We could learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names,
& all are different colors....but they

ALL exist very nicely in the same box.
