Associate of the Month
It seems that yours truly, the humble maintenance worker at the local Wal-mart, has been dubbed "Associate of the Month". What does that mean? My name will forever be immortalized on an engraved sign at the back of the store and I get a parking spot that is a whole 30 feet closer than where I usually park! Alright!!!!
Do you know that Spongebob episode where Mr. Krabs makes Spongebob employee of the month every month to get him to just work a little harder? It's hilarious. That episode popped into my head when a fellow associate congratulated me on being the chosen associate of the month (2nd shift) but no managers have yet to tell me that I have received the coveted title. I just chuckle.
I don't think it is that hard to get chosen for such a title as long as you smile, work hard, and do a little extra to help out your fellow associates. I think some people will never get chosen as associate of the month...they never smile. Someone told me they have never seen a happier maintenance worker as myself, pushing my cart or hauling trash to the back of the store. I just smiled and said thank you. If you can't be content cleaning toilets you won't be content doing any other task at Wal-mart. I must confess, however, that cleaning various forms of bodily outputs off the tiled walls is getting a bit old.
I have heard through the grapevine that I may be up for another position in the toy department. I think I would really enjoy working in toys. I know the products well as made evidence by my mini Wal-mart toy department that is strewn throughout my home! Oh well, let's just wait and see how this saga unfolds. I know you all will be waiting with baited breath to know if I get the position.
Paul and Susan have been at camp this week and I am very excited about them getting back tomorrow! It has been a long week with the little ones. We've had some really great moments and some really bad ones. Nothing different than the usual but it sure does help to have your spouse available to help untangle the thrashing children when they have a weak moment!

Congrats! You smile on your job because you do everything to the Glory of God.
Is your award suitable for a celebration at the Staples Center?
You know that if you move up to toys you will still have to wipe off bodily outputs, snot.

The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said.
