So, today was the annual Employee Recognition Awards. My entire program team (18 people) collectively received the "highly coveted" award for extraordinary acheivement. We've been dealing with launching three huge, ultra high profile new government initiatiatives under crazy deadlines while shortstaffed/training new hires (like me). I'm still fresh here, but I'm amazed some of my colleagues haven't collapsed.
Anyway, each team member got a very nice framed certificate with our individual name, and a beautiful framed print by a Native artist--all different. Mine is by a famous Ojibway artist named Benjamin Chee Chee, who committed suicide just as he was starting to gain renown:
I don't know who chose this for me, but I love swallows so it's perfect.
Oh, we also each got a packet of notecards, also with Aboriginal art, and a cool soft briefcase thingy with like a built-in digital calculator... and graph paper, lol! I obviously work with way too many engineering types!
