Welcoming winter

The recent "achievements" have been playing in my head and drawing smiles on my face ever since. The finale of my work towards the certificate was a big hump off my back, for sure, that working now has become less than a job and more pleasurable. Working during winter has a certain discomfort that now having all those stressful things at bay is a big and healthy relief.

I was warm enough after all those pats on the back, and then came another accolade.

Our metro-suburban community newspaper, Leader, holds its Business Achievers Awards annually, commencing with a popular vote from our community. This certificate came in the mail yesterday, stating my nomination in the "Employee of the Year" category. Tamara, our pharmacy assistant, also received one for "Apprentice of the Year" and our 70-year-old pharmacy will vie for the "Professional Services" category.

The winners won't be announced until the awards night on 25th July. For now, we'll have to put our heads together into writing down the best of us in their questionnaire and prepare for the 'mystery shopper' who will audit us soon. So much for fame. Hehehe.
