Working Like a Dog

We had our annual holiday party today at work today, which consisted of a potluck lunch, a group photo, and a gift exchange. We also took the opportunity to conduct our monthly all-hands meeting, which keeps everyone up-to-date with what is going on with the program. At our all-hands meetings we also award a "Working Like A Dog" title to that employee who was nominated and then "elected" by fellow employees for their hard work. The recipient receives a little stuffed dog that is passed from one award winner to the next each month and is supposed to be adorned with some sort of trinket by each award winner. Winners also get a little award certificate, as well as 8 hours of paid time off. Anyway, I was nominated by two people this month, and one other person was also nominated. I won the award this month, so that was cool. Nothing like getting rewarded for hard work.
