My work Service Award was overlooked.

I was due a 15 year plaque and pin last year but the annual award ceremony was a month before I reached 15. So, I was going to get it a this year's ceremony but I couldn't make it in person. I asked them to ship it to me via inter-office mail. That was three months ago. They say they are still waiting for funding for the packing materials to send out many awards. Leave it to the Federal Govt to f' things up.

BTW, what annoys me even more is that I won't get my 20-year award because I reach mandatory retirement four months before the 20th anniversary.

Hey, but what the heck. I'm just happy to have a secure job with a pension.
