In a non Flushy looking forward to meeting another guy sort of way I'm really looking forward to meeting you at the next blonde bash - I wish I had half your spirit!

Well done on the award, absolute inspiration.

Nice gesture with the dishing out the £12.50s and that. Thumbs up.

Employee Awards

Wednesday 13th May 2009

You know the sort of thing, Employee of the Month/Year etc; I have to say I have never worked anywhere until now where these sort of things take place, I always felt you go to work, do your job, get paid, and IF someone occassionally comes along and says thank you then thats it.....

The Company I work with have an Employee of the Quarter and an Employee of the Year Award, and each quarter they have 4 smaller awards for things like kissing the bosses arse, or something like that (i dont take much notice), I guess these things are good confidence boosters for the newer, younger members of staff, and the qualifying criteria to achieve one of these awards is you need to have been with the company 6 months.

So I arrive at work last night and there is an envelope awaiting me from HR and on opening this out falls a certificate for Employee Awards 2009 - Quarter One "Always Plays Their Best for the Team" awarded to taximan (well they didnt actually put taximan!!!).

With this is a letter congratulating me and also explaining that it is the 1st time ANY member of a Nights team within the WHOLE group (21 hotels) has ever received any such award, so I guess thats something to be proud of! Also with the award comes a monetary prize of £50, I realise I can only receive such awards if the members of my team are doing their jobs well and there are only 4 of us in total, so as much as £50 is important to me, I have split this money equally between the 4 of us £12.50 each, they have earned it as much as me.

All this on a day when Roxanne and I celebrate 2 years 'together' in soul if not in body.

Still the sun is shining..................

Update: Went into work last night (wednesday) and Jame one my night porters also had a letter from HR and like me he had been awarded a sub category award " Always demonstrates a positive attitude in is work and behaviour". Jame (from Afghanistan) has worked for the company for 6 years and this is his 1st award, this gives me MORE pleasure than receiving mine..........

Not quite GUKPT Wink

Sunday 24th May 2009

The local sports and social club in the next village held a poker tournament today, so with nothing else to do I thought I would have a game. 32 players entered paying £7.50 each, top 6 got paid. Started with 10K so plenty of time to play and after 6 hours I finished in THIRD place winning £25, not life changing but a pleasant afternoon/evening all the same.

Its only SIX days and I take off for the Philippines, how lucky am I?

Till next time peeps...........
