Walked in to this card on my desk,

Another nice Mickey card.
And finally this heartfelt message,

This couple have been members for a long time.
Since coming back to the club, my interactions with them have become more frequent.
They are incredibly kind and gracious people, and always understanding of our challenges as a small staff.
Everytime I see them out on the course,they always smile and wave, and I do the same.
I knew they were out golfing today, and made a point to express my gratitude for their recognition.
It was probably one of the best moments in my career in turf management.
If I knew you were going to post the card, I wouldve written it neater.

A fourth wall break inside a fourth wall break.
Was chatting with the boss towards the end of the day.
I was about to walk out of his office, when he says "hey, wait".
Hands me a $100 gift card.
"You got team member of the month for December."
And adds "it's good to have you back. Really."

Totally unexpected.
3 months in and I get this.

I don't do what I do for that stuff.
I do what I do because I enjoy it.
Not always, with weather being a constant factor, but most of the time.

Hey, even if you don't to it "for that stuff," it still is a real compliment and should be enjoyed.

Well done, and congrats.
Thank you.
I know, and I get it.
The reason I said that is I'm not one to go, "oh man, I gotta step it up and be Superman so I can get EOTM!"
I just show up and do my thing.
That's why it actually caught me by surprise.
I've only been back at this course for 3 months.
The boss has a tendency to be very laconic,
So it can be hard to get a read on him.
WRT his view of my performance in my role, I just assume "no news is good news".
This award tells me I must be doing something right.
