My year has definitely been productive. It's a lot of the behind the scenes stuff that people don't usually see though. Which honestly is fine with me because I don't need a lot of recognition anyway. I do kind of miss working for the private sector where there weren't so many restrictions and parties and bonuses were the norm. We get none of that here in the public sector due to regulations and all that jazz. Enjoy your time off!
I, and those I work with, don't seek recognition either but it's always welcome so the organisation ensure it happens when due. They're very generous throughout the year and in pay cycles of course, and today will be no different to any of the other events; lavish, enjoyable and we'll thought out. It'll be a nice way to round out the year.
It sounds like a perfect end to the year!
