(Sort of) Employee of the Month

So, every month or so we have a general staff meeting after our drill for the crew. The captain and some of the managers talk about stuff around the boat, what's going on with the company, what's going on with the ship, and things like that.

They also do the employee of the month. Everyone that's nominated has to go onstage, and then out of everyone you get an employee of the month for the whole ship. So, I was watching, not suspecting anything, when all of a sudden on the screen I see my picture. Was definitely not expecting that. I made my way up to the stage with the other people, and stood in front of all 800 or so staff, and waited. The girl next to me turns to me and said, "this is where we hold hands and cry..." like we were in a pagent, it was funny at the time... I wasn't the one picked, but I did get to shake hands with the captain... I feel special. Kinda wish I'd won, because then you at least get $500 bucks for standing up there.

So, anyway, I guess technically I got employee of the month for our division, which is definitely nice, and makes me feel like I'm doing a good job, even though I do feel lost a lot of the time. Awww, they do like me after all!!
