for significant contributions to my program.

Received award yesterday.

found out about the award today when I got congratulated in the hall by a coworker (awkward)

Turns out, they accidentally invited the wrong EMCE yesterday to the ceremony

Is your ass better?

10/4/2011 9:22:57 AM

at least you get the cash.

the plight of the dudes with generic names.

hahahahaha

When I was in 3rd grade I got an award for a drawing, but they gave it to a guy named Brandon in my class. When I saw him in the paper standing next to my picture holding a blue ribbon I was pissed. I called him out in front of the whole class. The teacher yelled at him and made him bring the ribbon back and I got my own personal article in the paper with a pimp ass picture of me.

Also, I got employee of the month at Cheesecake and didn't know about it until a few months later when I was reading the employee of the month plaque.

LOL at Brandon. I like his style.

10/4/2011 9:27:54 AM

Aha, yeah, as long as the $$ goes to the right place, all is well

In the 8th grade I won a speech contest...except when they read the names out of the winners they read them in reverse order, which put me in last place. No one wanted to say anything to the girl who they said won because she was so happy that she won. So they found someone else to sponser me so I could go on to the next round of speeches.

10/4/2011 9:29:42 AM

^^^^haha your name is brandon

10/4/2011 9:29:47 AM

^ No it's not!

10/4/2011 9:36:42 AM

I had a professor add someone else to the class instead of me because we both had the same name.

10/4/2011 9:39:37 AM

haha brandin

10/4/2011 9:50:30 AM

It's a Major Award. I won it!

10/4/2011 10:43:23 AM

congrats to you hard worker man

10/4/2011 10:47:01 AM

That might actually be the best case scenario. You get the loot, he has to stand there at the ceremony looking like a dolt and doing the heinous "thank you" handshake deal as it's being presented. You won.

I feel like I just won the lottery!


I mean, I just checked my next pay check online...and the award was included! It felt like the lottery because the gubment taxed the fuck out of it!

So what you're saying is ... your company thinks all Jeffs look the same.

10/4/2011 10:57:26 AM

Basically.

Also, that I got scumbag steve'd by uncle Sam (again)





good job earning that award, bro...












How are you going to spend your 75% of it?

10/4/2011 11:02:47 AM

congrats!

10/4/2011 11:05:08 AM

^^ hey the govt has got to pay for all those fancy trucks air traffic control systems you're making somehow

[Edited on October 4, 2011 at 11:45 AM. Reason : 25% seems low, actually. my bonuses usually end up getting almost 1/3 chopped off]

[Edited on October 4, 2011 at 11:50 AM. Reason : right, i knew you were doing something different now. air traffic is where the real money is anyways]

10/4/2011 11:44:36 AM

Air traffic control systems?

I personally think it is inappropriate to give someone The Biggest Black Dude Dong Award at work not unless you work in the porn industry.



(I said black because their dongs are the biggest, right?)

In all seriosness, no one else accepted the award. The EMCE they invited works in freakin' Denver. Our names are just spelled alike. I guess thats what happens when you invite through outlook...and the corporate address book has tens of thousands of names.
Apparently when they called me out, someone told the room that I was in a meeting...which I suppose is true.
