Irony

I've been bitching about my job for the past week or so (or maybe longer..but who's counting). So, needless to say that I was shocked when I returned to work today to a pile of recognition.

You see, our HR department has this "Star Recognition" program where we can nominate each other for going "above and beyond the call of duty." I figured I would get nominated due to my work leading this major project last month. However, I didn't expect to take the "grand prize."

Once the individuals are nominated, the Senior VP of HR and the 2 VPs or HR vote on who they feel should win this "top billing" for the quarter.

Of all times for me to win something, it's now.

I got the award, little emmy-like statue, my name on the HR Department plaque, and a $250.00 gift card. Woo hoo.

I'm still irritated with work and almost told them to stick the little statue. Oh well...maybe I'm just bitter.
