I am not writing this blog to "toot my own horn" just to say some things happen over again and amaze me. I am a "in your face" type of person. Have to jump in feet first and do things. At work I use to be an executive assistant and to this day still do that job even thought I have a new position. I have to have everything just perfect (or try).

Last April our school held an auction. I joined the committee. The lady running the committee's husband has cancer so she had things on her mind besides the auction. She was so organized it was amazing and she is one lady to look up to. I tried to help her as much as possible, along with a few other women. We came to weekly meetings, got donations, prepared baskets and organized all auction items. The last week we were at the school every night organizing and preparing. The evening before the auction I raced to the school from work in my van and loaded all the items aboard. The next morning, bright and early I got all the buckers together, markers, stickers and prizes and headed of to the taveron to set up. A couple of ladies were there to help that morning right at 10 so we would be ready for the croud at 1pm. I helped organize all the leadership group who attended to help. Made sure each item was shown properly. At the end of the day the leader of our committee got up and thanked everyone by name EXCEPT ME. My sister "B" also came to help. She looked at me and said "she forgot you" I put on a brave face and said yes, must be an oversite. I have to admit I was a little taken back but it was a crazy day and personally I forgot all about it (after 5 or 6 days hahaha).

Well it happened again this week at work. One of our top Finance Managers mother died. I ran down to the card store and bought a card, got all the staff to sign it and mailed it of to his home. (He lives in another province) Well Friday afternoon he sent a thank you to all our office, D, P, D, K & L. WAIT A MINUTE. I started to laugh. What about Cheryl. I have met him only once but everyone knows me. I have been with the company for 17 years and talk non stop and and and. Yes I could go on but who really cares. Someone in the office laughed to and said "you even went and bought the card and L has never met him but he mentioned her" I know it was an oversite and at the end of the day I am the only one who noticed or cared. For an IN YOUR FACE type of person I guess I don't have a face or name HAHA
