A Good Day At Work...

Hey everybody,

Just wanted to say that today was a very good day at work, and when I got home, there was something good FROM work in my mail box.

Quote:

Dear Matthew,

Congratulations on reaching your five year milestone anniversary with Universal.

As a company driven by talented, dedicated people, we appreciate your efforts in building our success.

In recognition of your years of service, Universal invites you to participate in our Service Recognition Program by selecting an award from the catalog that you will be receiving shortly.

Please accept my personal gratitude for your contributions.

Sincerely,
Ron Meyer
President and Chief Operating Officer

Coolness! Might there be good stuff in this catalog?

(And congrats on your five years!)

scaeagles · 09-23-2006, 05:57 AM

Cool!

I've completed 5 weeks at my new job, but no such gratitude was expressed. The nerve! Anyway, congrats.

Cool! Pick the most expensive thing in that catalog!

Stan4dSteph · 09-23-2006, 06:45 AM

Congratulations!

I hope the five year awards for your arm of the company are better than the ones we get.

Wait, Steph, you work for the same company?

Also, congrats, man!

Congrats!

I wonder if any of the items WON'T be emblazened with "Universal Studios"?

MouseWife · 09-23-2006, 09:17 AM

Congrats!

This is a nice touch. The Hubsters job used to do that {long story} but now different management so no.

Do you remember if you received a chance to pick a gift at other anniversaries? Like, the first?

Practical things. We picked {ahem, yes, I did say we} an electric pump that would run off of the car battery. This was great for our cars and his bikes.

The other thing {maybe 5 year} was a under the counter cd player w/radio. He didn't like it. I insisted. We have used that soooo much.

Nothing had the equivalent of 'Universal Studios' on it. I think they must pay a company a flat rate and the people get to order things from a certain book for that rate.

It is cool. They don't have to do it. So

to them and

to you! Choose wisely, my son!

If they knew how hard it was to do your job with a ham lodged in your sphincter, they would be more appreciative, I'm sure. Maybe you should explain this to them. You can use my avatar if necessary.
