These are the nicest things a co-worker could say

So at my office
we do this thing called Park It Forward.
Where someone gets to park in this balla spot all week then passes on the trophy to someone else who they think is deserving. 
Well I was the park it forward winner this week.
And I was awarded the trophy by the greatest creative director around.
And for coming into work with a Massive Headache on a Friday, Rich pretty much made my day with the below reasons as to why he bestowed the parking award to me:

In all my years in advertising, I have never come across any one quite like Caroline. I can be in the foulest mood and hear her say “... Well my lesbian psychic said ... “ or “I was home for lunch and a Mexican fell through my ceiling”. You can’t help but get in a better mood with wisdom like that flowing through your transit.  I am quite sure that I would’ve gone mad if it weren’t for her. She is living proof that happiness can be contagious. And that’s big coming from someone who has never trusted happiness.

I am sure she is destined for greatness. The agency would be foolish to ever let her get away. So keep her happy Luckie. For starters, a week of primo parking
.
I'm not trying to brag.
But I posted the above  
Because a lot of times I don't think we see ourselves in a positive light. 
We are so quick to be so hard on ourselves.
(or at least I am. I am my own worst enemy)
And so sometimes it is a nice little reminder to get a glimpse of the way other people see you.
I'm really glad other people enjoy my 'weird' this much. 
So today,
go Park It Forward for someone around you.
Everyone needs to have their day brightened every once in awhile. 
So be that person and get it started!




Peace,

  4. I agree about not thinking of yourself in a positive light. It's my first year teaching, and I had my first evaluation last week. I really thought I bombed. My evaluator didn't really say much, and I was like crap. Then, a few days later, I was walking into our break room, and a teacher I've seen but never met stopped me. She was like said evaluator has bragged on you all week about what a great job you're doing in the classroom. She said the kids were so good and everyone was so focused. It really made my day:) So, I can totally relate.
