December 14: Appreciate
What’s one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it?
As much as it might seem otherwise (by my almost-constant whinging), I’m appreciative for my job.
Even though I was excited when the position opened up (I’ve always thought wedding/event planning would be a fun job, and a good fit for me), in my mind heart, it always took a back seat to The Honolulu Advertiser.
I saw the Advertiser as something that could set me up for a long-term career, and on top of that it was a phenomenal job! Sports department, good people, lots of food… Plus I was making a lot more money at it than event planning ;)
But when The Honolulu Advertiser closed down, and I had to rely on it as my only form of income (and mental stimulation, lol!), I found a new and greater appreciation for it.
We’ve come to assemble a really great team, and are often doing great work — And it’s helped me to really discover “my place” within the company and have a sense of ownership over my position. I think it’s clear in how hard I work to be successful for this company, and to be a friend to my co-workers.
I wanna know, what have you come to appreciate? How do you show it?
Ciao!
Tiera
