Today is Friday, the end of another work week. Luckily for me, I am at the beginning stages of a project. That means I can work on anything I like, and I have zero deadline stress. Plus, I have enough vacation time left to take both holiday weeks off, so next week will be my last workweek for the year. Hooray!
Today I’d also like to give a little shout-out to my employers, anonymously but heartfelt. They gave us extra bonuses this year, a gift card so we could buy ourselves a nice dinner in lieu of the annual holiday luncheon, extra sick time (if needed) for Covid, and far more guidance for dealing with the pandemic than we got from any level of government. They did everything possible to allow employees to telecommute 100%, even going as far as to buy printers for people who didn’t already have them at home. This year was my 25th work anniversary, and they not only remembered but also sent a gift. The real reward for my 25 years, though, is to be working for them now, and to have that dependability in my life when so many other things are falling apart. Hooray for all of this, too!
