Bragging About Wife

Wife has strictly forbid me from discussing her job on the blog, but I just need to post about her recent award. This week, her company had their annual "state of the company" gala with about a thousand employees gathering for speeches, a party, and awards. Wife was given a very prestigious award at the ceremony. I find this especially impressive because: 1) out of about a thousand employees, the number of awards can be counted on one hand; 2) Wife "crushed her competition" in the voting tally; 3) Wife works in a department that has NEVER received an award at this ceremony (she works in the department that nags managers to stop spending money and get their accounts in order; shockingly, the department has never been popular - until Wife took it over). But probably the most impressive aspect is that when Wife walked on stage to accept the award, she was honored with a standing ovation by all of her thousand coworkers in the theater.

Wife works for the pure joy of the job. Or at least that's what her company seems to think. Actually, gifts came with the award, but not cash.
