Some things to smile about

Justin and I have each had some exciting things happen in the past week.
Justin has been training after work since he arrived and took the Level One final exam on Wednesday for his ski instructor certification. Congrats! So proud of you!
For myself, I have been working hard at work with several co-workers injured and home sick we've been short staffed. On one occasion we were short and had to stay late and thanks to the help of the cooks and dishwashers we were able to serve over 300 guests. We were given coins to recognize our hard work called "you've been caught doing something good" coins. The deal is you then are recognized at the next Staff Salute(recognition party held monthly) and given a pin to put on your uniform. I had my invitation to the party thinking that was it... but I was also nominated as employee of the month from Market Station. I was not selected, but as a nominee I get a $200 bonus on my next pay check, 10 tickets to our staff cafeteria, and 2 tickets for dinner at the Pullman Place restaurant in the hotel. I was very surprised and happy to have my work acknowledged. I'd also like to say thanks to my co-workers for working together as a team so we can serve those who are serving our country.
