Last weekend (2/10 and 2/11) the annual VNSA used booksale at the State Fairgrounds was in Phoenix. I put in a month ago to have that Saturday off and when I looked at the schedule, the temp service had given me the full weekend off! I was stunned, absolutely stunned. I thanked my immediate supervisor for the weekend off and she told me I was given the weekend off because I made no demands, never asked for anything, and had to date always come in when asked to.
This is one of the few times in my life I've ever really seen an employer acknowledge my hard work......and how nice it was as I consider this booksale one of the high points of my year. It's kind of like Introvert Christmas, and it's something I look forward to every year. So that was nice! Rob
