A pleasant surprise!
This morning at work comes with a pleasant surprise 
I was given a nice watch (Timex indiglo) by my company, due to my contribution as part of the sports and recreation team member. I always feel happy to receive surprises! (especially those that I least expected!)
It make my day!
This is the second watch that I receive free from a company that I worked with - both also a Dutch company. Last year, I received a Swatch watch - cool one.
Personally, I think these watches does not cost much to the company but I believe that an employee would definitely feel appreciated to be given pleasant surprises like this. Speaking about lifting employee morale - this is one of the many ways.
With the almost new management in my company, things are really starting to change - for the better. I am hoping that next year will be a good year for my career development - be it in current position or something that I have wanted to do for the longest time. Something that will give me the freedom I need and at the same time - give me great satisfaction with good income. Something I personally feel very passionate about 
Wah! so good ah! here in my opis we get free company ball point pen. not really the same as “Timex indiglo”…
