Work Place Kudos

Before Christmas every one in the counseling department got an "assignment" to tell everyone else some qualities that they appreciated about them. We wrote them on half sheets of Christmas colored paper. Yesterday we were given those comments to read. I have to say that one quality that was a recurring theme surprised me and that was "Joyful."

Why is that a surprise? Well most of you know that I severely dislike my work. I often don't feel joyful when I'm there. So I was relieved that joy is still present in me in my interactions with others. Phew!

Here are a few other comments that made me grin:

The department supervisor said, your "a bit mysterious"

One of the Chaplains said, "your sly sense of humor"

And one of the counselors said, "your humor and love for the things of God. Also, when you are feisty"

: ) Who wouldn't want to be mysterious and sly and feisty all in one.

Kudos to all of you in the counseling department, each one is full of something so uniquely there own that blesses everyone else. Thanks for being the reason I can keep coming back each day.

P.S. It's come to my attention that there is a concern for the wrong or right person reading this and discovering I dislike my job. Rest assured that all important parties know exactly how I feel, but are still happy to employ me as long as I do my job ; )
