I wanted to be a cop or a paramedic when I realized I wasn't going to be able to become a horse trainer. But here I am, 26 years later and I seem to be making it a career out of paying the bills for my company.<br /><br />Isn't it impressive? It's great knowing that if I don't finish it 'today', I can go into work 'tomorrow' and know my water will still be cold. I even accidentally left it in the backseat of my car for several hours in triple degree temperatures and there was still a little ice, but it was still really cold.beeceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442581075407389441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980992536001449329.post-15194688416670912562016-07-20T13:39:13.697-07:002016-07-20T13:39:13.697-07:00I am sorry that they missed it.

Very briefly I was in charge of making sure birthdays were acknowledged by sending a card around to be signed and making sure our manager knew when to make a cake and what flavor, but then I decided I didn't want to do it after all when nobody pitched in to get him anything for Boss' Day. Well, my birthday wasn't long after I "quit" and not only did I not get a cake, I didn't get a card and nobody said Happy Birthday so I can definitely relate. Most of the time this place isn't so bad, but every now and then...Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05146226726351299463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980992536001449329.post-17370248481825859552016-07-20T06:22:12.708-07:002016-07-20T06:22:12.708-07:00Thank you.

A few years ago I worked for a company that sucked the life out of me, but I couldn't quit because my husband had lost his job. Every month we had a company wide meeting where those employees with birthdays were awarded mugs filled with treats, and then there was a cake for everyone. My birth month came, and they completely blew me off. They gave out mugs to everyone but me, and then my boss pulled me out of the meeting early to do some job for him, so I never even got cake. I resented that so much and was really glad when I was finally able to quit.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980992536001449329.post-30457756400614250332016-07-19T13:38:41.987-07:002016-07-19T13:38:41.987-07:00Congrats on the 15 year anniversary.
