I got a certificate "recognizing" me for my 5 years service. They spelled my name wrong :(

I had a decent selection to choose from... Ended up going with a Henckels knife set for the kitchen. :)

I love the obligatory "include the certification or current tech reading material in the picture".

Purely coincidental, I assure you. The pic was taken from a seated position--I swiveled from my keyboard and snapped a quick shot w/my camera phone, then threw it up on bbzzdd without checking for any necessary edits. An SCSA cert isn't really anything to write home about :p

(In other news, another ATOTer realized that he knew me IRL based on that cert :Q )

JLGatsby: Read the thread already. Tick: You have like 1 hour to read the thread.

As a matter of fact, guys, it's quoted for the nth time about a dozen posts above your posts. ;)

Or it's old computer parts that they wouldn't let you have when they were in the garbage.
Now that damn song is stuck in my head.

Before I even clicked the thread my guess was going to be "a crystal candy dish".

2 of the companies I've worked for, 3 of the companies my dad has worked for and 1 of the ones my mom has worked for have all given crystal candy dishes as a service award.
