It's been a busy busy week

And it's not over yet.

My life, I have to admit, is usually fairly dull. I suppose that's how most of us feel about our little corners of the world. We rise each morning, ready ourselves for a day's work, maybe eat breakfast, head out for our normal week day routine, come back hime, eat dinner and crash, only to restart and repeat the process the next day at the sound of the morning alarm. Some of us have habits and occurences in our lives that cause others to find them interesting. I'd say those are the lucky few, but I think it's a matter of perspective, point of view and personal attitude. We can, after all, if we put in the effort and set our mind and heart on the right path, accomplish just about anything we want in this life.

Occassionally I get a chance to experience one of those unusual happenings. Yesterday was just such a day. I and eight other employees sat down to a round table of free discussion with the CEO of our company. Much was discussed that really doesn't need to be shared here. the one thing we were all curious about is how each of us had been chosen. The CEO did not know, of course, though he thought HR and our guardian angels had something to do with it. My guess, actually that of the entire group, after noting that we were all among the most outspoken employees at our site, was that it had something to do with the size of our mouths and the fact that none of us is afraid to speak our mind. :-) There are no hero worshippers in this crowd. No doubt our managers had a great deal to do with the decision as well.

It is nice to know though, that I was one of two people in the room whose name badge the CEO did not have to read. Hmmm, maybe that's not such a good thing??
