oh hey there, you'll have to pardon my less than stellar mental capacity at the moment, i'm all nasaly again, i guess i didn't totally kick this flu bug and it's started to rot my brain, starting at the forman magnum and working its way out. Basically the hole in my brain is getting bigger by the second.
OK, on to the point of this post.
Today when i trot my lazy butt out to the mailbox there's an envelope from the Mayor's office....first reaction OH CRAP DID I PAY MY CAR STICKER THIS YEAR???? (in the great commonwealth of VA there are town taxes on cars...durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
Yeah i paid.....
I open it up and its some goofy letter from the Mayor's office that reads
WOW!!!! Seems a local councilwoman and our department president nominated me for an award!!
Dear Odie,
Congratulations! You have been nominated as an outstanding volunteer to receive recognition for your service to the community.
Your spirit of volunteerism is an essential part of the tradition of our Town and county and is appreciated by those of us who realize the time and sacrifices you must make to assist others.
I hope you and your family can join us at the Mayor's Advisory Committee on Tuesday April 8th at 2000hrs in the Council Chambers at the Town Hall so your unselfish efforts can be recognized by our members and guests. Following the program a reception will be held. Please call to RSVP.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mayor
I'm actually floored, the way i see it I'm one of the more maladjusted people in my community. I sit in a near windowless firehouse with a bunch of other sick and twisted freaks waiting around for the tones to drop letting us know someone has hurt themselves or is having the worst day of their lives. We then proceed to run out the door like a rabid squirrel foaming for a fresh walnut. We drive around in our fancy whoo whoo blinky blink mobile, then go back to the firehouse to do it all again ... WE ALL NEED HELP
Yeah I should really work on accepting compliments a little more graciously shouldn't I???
