The local paper I work for has a “Young Professional” article in the Business section each Sunday. It features a short profile on a younger working lad or lass in the community, who is typically nominated by the area chamber of commerce. Sometimes we don’t have any submissions though, and a staffer has to step up. And, lucky me, I was The Chosen One this past weekend.
So, really, my Young Professional profile is more of a “we didn’t have any submissions so you have to do it” kind of thing than “an honor,” but I tried to have some fun with it. Check it out if you feel so inclined.

Please don’t think I’m a stalker. Now I think that you are even more cool than when I first discovered your blog. It’s a REAL award! Don’t sell yourself short. You’re fabulous and awesome and hopefully that’s what the trophy sitting on your desk says 🙂 Congrats!

Haha, I won’t think you’re a stalker, but using “award” in this case is really a stretch. I will be proud of it anyway though!

Congrats on being chosen! I’m sure you are not the only employee at the GFT, so the honor of you being chosen is just that: an honor. They could have picked anyone else, but did they? No! I love how you spiced up the piece. It really showed some insight into your sense of humor. You deserve to be spotlighted.

Never under-rate an achievement. You earned it fair and square. There are so many times you will miss out so take this one and work the averages. Well done B
