Recognition

Well, Friday was the ball and it was so much fun. We dressed up to the theme Chinese New Year. I had an awesome dress that finally arrived after 5 weeks at 10:30 the day of the ball (I should have had it altered, it was a bit big). But here's the thing. I was given 40 hour employee of the year award. My DH got employee of the year last year. It was awesome to be recognized. I about fell off my chair when they announced it. But this is what I've been hearing...we didn't recognize you when you went up - you've changed so much, you're incredible! Okay, so I wasn't before? Hmmm.... I know it's just me being defensive a bit, but it was a nice recognition.

While a few of us, the morbidly obese, have stellar, memorable personalities I believe that most of us fell into a different category. Don't stare at the fat person was what most of our co-workers were thinking to themselves. That made us quite forgetable. Congratulations on the recognition at work! Here's to you!
