(I'm still going to whine, though). <br />Funny you mention your work objectives. My tutoring site has these random polls and this week's asked what was our primary reason for tutoring (extra money, be my own boss, etc.) The top choice was "helping others". It is rewarding, isn't it.

You're the second person I've heard of this winter to have that happen. (The other woman is a coworker and things got so serious, she was hospitalized and had to have surgery. Take care of yourself!)<br /><br />Cool beans on the bicycle commuter awards. I'll bet the prizes motivate some of those on-the-fence people to get on their bikes and join in.<br /><br />We were just talking at work today about upcoming work opportunities. That conversation helped me realize that when offered the choice, I'll choose the one that allows me to help someone, rather than the one that just lets me perform a bunch of routine processes. Work is so much more fulfilling when you can see someone benefit from it. Guess that's why you like your tutoring so much. terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-71826954452630299102015-01-27T16:52:21.564-07:002015-01-27T16:52:21.564-07:00This month seems to be on a roll toward good thing...This month seems to be on a roll toward good things for you.

Hopefully it won't take too long to heal!<br />We watched The Interview this weekend. It, too, wasn't life altering. But it did provide an hour and a half of light and occasionally funny entertainment.

Higher the mileage, the more valuable the prizes. They give out one staff and one student prize per category each month, so it's a pretty generous incentive program for about 150 participants.

Not too shabby for the Goose Poop Slalom Queen. <br /><br />Seems like we are all coming down with something (or maybe it's just me). I've had a major neck pain/sprain for a the past few weeks that feels like someone is stabbing me in the neck. I hope your sore ribs not as much of a pain in the neck as mine is. agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-46476417646130601902015-01-25T20:34:40.875-07:002015-01-25T20:34:40.875-07:00Thanks, Marcy.
