My law firm has been noticing that morale has been sagging a bit around here lately, so the powers that be decided to institute a new thing where they serve lunch every quarter to the support staff (about thirty-five or so of us in all) and give an employee of the quarter award. The prize is a trophy to be displayed on the desk for the quarter and a cash bonus.

We had our first luncheon today, and the recipient of the quarterly award was um, me. I was surprised; my bet was on one of the legal assistants.

The other secretaries are teasing me mercilessly, so there's no danger I'll get a swelled head or anything.

That's terrific. And you'll always have the pleasure of having been the very first Employee of the Quarter. Neat.

Not being a lawyer myself (so not really understanding your job or work environment) and never having *seen* you at work, I can't, obviously, really have any opinion of your value to your employers -- but may I, nonetheless, say I'm not shocked?

And congratulations!

*laughs* Hardly! But it will certainly help in the next few months with Christmas coming up.

It'd cover about a month and a half's worth of one person's lessons. I think I'm likely to tuck it away for Christmas, actually.
