2008 Employee Recognition Event
July 25, 2008
This afternoon was the annual Employee Recognition celebration. Initially I wasn't planning on going - I still have four stacks of FL judgments to conform as well as loose filing to organize, substitution of attorney forms to input into Sustain and two new will call folders to make for new attorneys, plus I would love to, just once, be able to completely clear off and clean my desk before leaving for a weekend - but I was convinced that I really should go and was offered a ride, so I thought, what the heck, I'll go.
It was carnival-themed and the group who set the whole thing up did a great job! There were hot dogs, cotton candy and sno-cones, games of chance and a relaxing, festive and fun atmosphere.
I'm glad I went, even though it means twice as much work still waiting to be done on Monday. Wait. I was supposed to be relaxing and having fun. I wasn't supposed to be thinking about work. I can't help it, though. I guess I'm just too damn conscientious. That's my biggest problem, my greatest weakness. I care. I give a shit. Why can't I just be like everyone else and not take my job so seriously? Do the bare minimum and just shrug at what's left over?
Maybe the Governor's threatened pay cut will inspire me to consider myself before my job. Or not. I can't imagine being slovenly at work, even if maybe I should be.
