Received a nomination for employee of the month where I work. Whilst I didn't win, I did receive an email congratulating me. It included the message from whoever recommended me. They wrote some lovely things, and it was very uplifting to read.
My gut knew a few weeks ago that I'd get a nomination mentioned. Not winning got my inner critic working a little, but I took a step back and told myself "no". It's a wonderful thing to have received a nomination, especially having only worked there a short time. Winning isn't everything, and there's no reason to conjure artificial shame around it.
This is a lovely company to work for, and they do excellent work; helping so many people with a variety of disabilities and disorders. I'm truly glad to be a part of a charity that makes a difference to people's lives, and their families too.
I knew the moment I walked through the door at their "open evening" that this was the place I was going to work. I knew as soon as I spoke with the managers that I would get the job, even before we'd arranged an interview date.
I also know in my heart that I will be working there for a long time.
