What are some of the awards or prizes you've won in your life........

This was a long time ago, when I worked for a living....

I won BUYER OF THE YEAR, for Dillard's dept Stores, out of 77 other Buyers in my Corporate Division...
Also won Best R.O.I, Best Sales Increase, Highest Profit Margin, that same year which lead to the overall Award....

As the reward, I won an all expenses paid 10 day trip to Hawaii, for me and the hubby, with a Ford Mustang Convertible to drive while there!!! IT WAS AWESOME!
THAT must have been VERY exciting. Good for you! I certainly remember Dillard's stores. I believe they were in just about every mall in Phoenix, Arizona and its suburbs, in the 1970's and 80's.
 
That you are proudest or most thankful for? With the virus crisis still going on and most of the world in lock down, I thought this might be a good way to reflect on memorable things in our lives that make us happy to look back on. Plus this could be a way for you to "toot your own horn", which also is a pleasurable thing. This could be ANY award or prize you won that brings back fond memories. I have two particular awards I won that I'm fond of recalling. I was voted Best Student Of Eighth Grade by my teachers and my principal. I received some kind of plaque commemorating this. I'm not sure WHERE it is now, but I still have it, packed in a box. The award was a surprise for me because the small rural school I went to tended to look up more to the athletes and not the best students. I was unable to play any sports because I had severe asthma as a kid. But I DID actually letter in 8th grade basketball for my contribution as statistician and manager for the 8th grade basketball team. I loved keeping score for the team, I was a math geek when I was a kid. The manager part wasn't so good. I had to collect all the towels used by the players and made sure the the locker room was nice and clean after the game. But I AM proud that I lettered in a sport, even though I didn't play any. My favorite prize was when I won TEN tickets for an off Broadway production of the musical Cats, the contest was held by a local classic rock radio station. If you came up with the best five classic rock songs that featured some kind of animal(s) in the song title or song itself, first prize was 10 tickets to the show. This was in 1989, the tickets then were worth about $350. I asked my ex-girlfriend to go, we were still friends, my mom and sister, two residents who were living in the group home where I was working, the manager of the group home - my boss, and her husband, and one of my co-workers and his girlfriend. Everyone was able to go on less than 12 hours notice. It was a great experience I'll never forget. Sorry about being so long winded, I have a tendency to do this! So, what are some of YOUR proudest awards or prizes you've received throughout your life?
I was manager of a problem property in Oxnard Cali, blackballed by the Point Mugu Navy so their soldiers could not rent there. I was hired to fix it. I got a commendation from the police chief for cleaning the place up and getting the Navy back in there as renters.

I was very proud of doing that. It was a mess of an apartment complex when I first got there.

Gracie with a statement like that I am always reminded of Solomon..

Thanks for NOT replying to the question I posted in my thread opening, Grumpy. What awards or prizes have you won that you'd like to share? It's as easy as that. And if you're here just to troll, PLEASE keep your sorry ass away from this thread. Thank you.

You can talk. All you do is troll threads I start.
The only thing Skye has won is dumbest poster on USMB.
I have won three awards in my life. All scholastic and high school level. That's it.


He trolls , fuck face?

The guy is bored, needs an escape, from the midwest, lived in Arizona..

He is real..so what does it say about you?
 
Oh yeah..I also won a trip to Vegas. Hated it. Shoulda been Maui, lol.
And believe it or not, I've never been to Vegas. I've never been a gambler and don't really care for the glitzy shows. So I most likely will never go there. But you never know.
I'm not a gambler but its fun as hell in Vegas. Anyone can find something to do there. I love the shows.

Its awful UNLESS you like the bluster and constant non stop noise. And hookers. And filth. And gambling. None of which I enjoy at all.
Just stay in the hotel. You can find plenty to do. Make sure you go to the Bellagio. Best hotel out there.

Thanks, bear. There really IS no hope for people like Grumpy and Asslips. Very sad, but SO preventable. Something really went wrong in their lives to be so damn awful on these threads. I really DO feel sorry for individuals like these two.

Take out the coronavirus and this is one of the best times of my life on so many levels.
Once again you are wrong.
You know, we have a saying down here - if you can't take shit, don't dish it out. Simple really.

oh, they are still there I believe? well at least they were, that was another corporate buying division when I worked for them.... in the mid to late 90's.

But, Grumpy, this ISN'T the forum for that kind of stupid shit. Take up bear's challenge down in the Taunting Arena, I would LOVE to see that.
