...but I can't help but feel disappointed that I didn't get any special recognition from HO like that.
TRUELY, I am thrilled that they are doing that kind of thing now! I hope my FD who is sooo close gets something too. I assume it's probably a random thing. ...or did you all do something over the top??

)But I look back when my ED started and they received much less than I did. They also had to do all of the paperwork by hand and send it snail mail!!:bugeye::yuck:
That is such a nice gesture from HO. Looking forward to seeing the new things for Directors through my FD that is close to promoting!

Janice, I sat with Doris at my New Directors Breakfast too! You posted on CS last year when you found out you were sitting with her...I remember reading that post (along with your long list of accomplishments for 2006) and told my husband, "I want to do what she's doing and I want to sit with Doris." Never thought that would actually happen.

YOU ALL DESERVE IT!!
...I wish Doris was still "signing" the birthday cards though. I was disappointed that it was only signed by Marla this year but don't get me wrong - I still think it's a great gesture and still look forward to that little extra. I LOVE the phone call too! That they just started this last year.

We're moving to a larger apartment across the hall next month...and DH is out and out asking me to please NOT set my desk space up in the living room (as it is now). I'm a terrible clutterer...have to have everything within reach. Now that you posted your 'new office' thread on CS, maybe I'll be inspired to finally become the organized person I've never been.*
* I don't advise betting on that outcome.
