In which I remain M’s biggest fan
My big boss (who as we know I love and have worked for, for like 14 years now) is on his way to today’s events he thinks I should be invited to but that Don’t Treadmill on Me doesn’t invite me to.
I mean honestly this is the first year in three that I got invited to the main event. Not that you can keep me out, obviously. But, I’m just gonna be grateful this year.
I did say you know DToM — this is not me sitting home of my own accord.
He said he gets it.
He had called to thank me for going with him on Friday to greet our Japanese colleagues at the airport. Which was awesome. So awesome. I loved it and I said so.
I also said thank you for giving me a unique experience.
He hadn’t thought of that, and he thinks of everything. He laughed and said, “That’s right! You are the only one I invited to come out. They were so surprised and pleased for their special welcome. And you’re the only one who got to have that experience.”
NGL, I was feeling a way this morning as my entire team messaged me for the third year in a row, “Why isn’t there a place setting for you, our boss?!”
But my salt turned to sweetness to remember that the only person whose opinion matters to me, sees my worth. And appreciates me for it.
