At work, they have a drawing every month where employees can win stuff and get recognition via email if they've been "caught doing the right thing." You can be nominated for customer focus, creativity, initiative, integrity, communicaiton, and efficiency. If you win the drawing, you get sweet stuff--like stress balls, logo notepads, magnets, or CDs of ocean sounds.
After the printer fiasco in our office last week, my esteemed colleague Jacob submitted the following writeup on my behalf. I really hope I win, because I need a new travel coffee mug.
"Week of January 24, 2011- It was during this week that i witnessed a focused and highly efficient spearheading effort by Examiner Seed to get our Seattle Field Office DFI HP Color LaserJet 5550b printer fixed. When another examiner messed the printer up but had to leave right away to go on another exam, office productivity ground to a halt. There were at least two teams in the office prepping for multi-week field jobs, which require extensive printing of documents that need to be reviewed on-site. That is the only printer we have that will cooperate with PDF files or print in color. Several examiners tried their hand at fixing the printer, but the printer dispatched them handily with otherworldly noises and error messages. Everyone was paralyzed by fear and confusion…. but not Sara Seed! She sprang into action and coordinated the timely repair of the printer with not only Tumwater, but the HP technician who finally came and worked on the printer. It turned out to be that we had mistakenly put legal size paper in a letter size bin…whoopsie! What an appropriate problem to be tackled by our larger than life colleague and friend, Sara Seed."
