Good morning myLotters. Another Wednesday rolls around, middle of the week, and in this case, middle of the month. I am lucky enough to have a short work day today. My employer recognizes June as Employee Appreciation Month. Last week there was a catered meal for anyone who went into the office as well as 3 hours off with pay. Today is another half hour off with pay. Not too hard to take. I have booked a personal day tomorrow, so will finish early this afternoon until Friday. I have a couple of appointments that I needed to get done during the workweek, and decided to pair them up on the same day. Anything really wonderful coming your way today or lately? ~Photo is mine

Yes, they are good for recognition. They flew me out to Victoria, BC a couple of months ago and put me up in the Fairmount Empress Hotel for 5 days for a prestigious award that I received. It was quite nice, my family flew out too and stayed at a resort about 5 minutes away so that we could spend our days together.

You sure as heck deserve to be appreciated! I am so glad you work for people who acknowledge hard work. I’m looking forward to Father’s Day Sunday, and giving my dad his card and present. I hope he feels how much I love him.

Thank you, it is nice to be recognized-I never take it for granted. Your Dad has to know how much you love and appreciate him, I feel like you take the time to show him that as often as you can.

Good morning! ?? That sounds like a pretty nice way for an employer to recognize their staff. A catered meal and paid time off are certainly better than one of those generic "we appreciate you" emails that seem to be so popular these days!
