Me either, I normally have them done by Valentine's Day but I just got them done early last week.

On the days I work from home I generally start around 5:30 or 6:00 AM. Everyone I work with knows this. So why do they act so surprised that I'm a little cranky to get a call at 5:30 PM - especially since they want to discuss something complex that will take between 1/2 - 1 hour?

Ugh that is the worst. It reminds me of when I'd work a double and near the end my boss calls me "just to chat" NO LET ME SLEEP.

**FoxPhile** · 03-06-2018, 03:43 PM

Winter isn't over yet. We've got an evening of sleet and slush and we may even have an inch or two of accumulation by morning.

{ Glad to be working from home tomorrow! }

My boss called me yesterday and tells me she really needs me in the office today. We have a quarterly Town Hall meeting - which is all employees - and there will be a presentation on the project we've been working on. She says she doesn't need me to do anything, but she wants to be sure that as many key members of the team are there as possible.

Fine. I go into the office. I go to the Town Hall. Nothing on the agenda says anything about our project. What the heck?????

They gave me an Outstanding Contribution Award. Which is basically an award for working your tushee off.

My boss is SO sneaky!

Okay at first I thought this was Tina's thread and I was waiting for this story to go somewhere relating to her.

But congrats, Heidi! That is amazing!

Thanks. It was a terrific surprise. It also means I've won the three biggest awards available at the company - a Triple Crown of sorts. Which is really gratifying.

Amazing!

I have a job!

**FoxPhile** · 03-09-2018, 04:33 PM

Yay!!!!!

**WeBuiltThePyramids** · 03-09-2018, 04:34 PM

Just three days a week to start, and it's night shift, but night shift at hotels is usually pretty easy.

**FoxPhile** · 03-09-2018, 04:46 PM

If the turnover is anything like your hotel in Kentucky, you'll probably be working a full week in no time.

**WeBuiltThePyramids** · 03-09-2018, 04:48 PM

Haha it seems to be a lot different, but at this hotel full timers get benefits after six months I think, so there's more incentive.

**FoxPhile** · 03-09-2018, 04:54 PM

Ah! With benefits as a lure, folks may be fighting to go full time.

**WeBuiltThePyramids** · 03-09-2018, 04:54 PM

Yeah it seems they're pretty well staffed actually.
