Matt worked really hard and was able to complete the requirements and earn the amazing prize package. More impressive was the fact that his work hosted this contest again in December...and Matt earned it a second time! He was so excited...and I was so proud. He really is a hard-worker and does an amazing job providing for our family.
So you can imagine our disappointment, when in February he still had not received the wonderful rewards. Apparently, some people had cheated and so everyone was under review. They would not be handing out the rewards until an extensive audit was complete. So Matt waited...and waited...and waited...and waited some more.
On Monday, Matt decides that he will just order the new BlackBerry, pay for it, and then sell the ones that he earned from his work. He was fed up and sick of waiting! When Matt told me that he was planning on ordering one...I said "just wait and see, you will order it and the same day that it arrives, they will bring you the ones that you have earned". Matt said that would not happen because there was no talk of the rewards yet. Every time he asked a Supervisor, he got the run-around.
So Matt ordered the phones (one for me too!) on Monday and they arrived on today at 3:38pm. I text messaged Matt to let him know that they were here.
At 4:23pm, I received a text message from Matt that said, "You have my permission to laugh!". As I scrolled through the message I see a photo of the phones and headsets that he had earned.
Can you believe it! The BlackBerry Storms that Matt ordered, and the Blackberry Storms that he earned arrived within less than an hour of each other. Oh well. At least we both had a good laugh!
