It's an honor just to be nominated

I learned today that I am on the short list for Employee of the Year at my company. I am the only nominee from my department.

I was nominated a few years ago, and arrived at the awards event to learn that they had left my picture out of the program. Geez, was that supposed to be a hint?

While the recognition and cash would be cool, I'll be happy if they just get me in the program this time.

Check back late next week to learn the outcome.
