There are many of us who try to do our best each day at work, helping others, getting our tasks done on time and maybe even whistling while we work. While we do our best there are just some people that go a bit further on the great job list, they qualify for the "totally awesome" co-worker, employee list! If you have ever worked with someone on this list you know what I am talking about, they are amazing. These are the people that as you are thinking of doing something, they are already doing it and with a smile. You and others you work with often wonder what type of happy pills must they be taking, can someone be that "up" everyday? I am fortunate enough to work with someone like this and he is an inspiration to each of us and those we serve every single day. You may wonder, yeah, yeah, I do a great job too….,.but let me tell you what may make my co-worker different from you or those you work with. Today at the end of the day at work, actually it was about 3 minutes past closing, and our employee bathroom was being use so I decided to use our patient bathroom before I left. As I was sitting on the "john" I happened to look down to the side of the toilet and what did my eyes see? Someone had thrown-up all on the wall and down on the floor! I could not get out of the bathroom quick enough as I have one of those touchy stomachs. Now as soon as I went out I let the other know what was in the bathroom and I went to get some cleanser to clean up the mess, but guess what? My super co-worker stepped in knowing this would be hard for me and started cleaning the mess up. No, complaints, just a few jokes, which made us laugh. He took over, stayed late and told me as we were leaving, "I will clean the sink before we start tomorrow." What a guy, how were we so lucky to have one of these superstar people on our team to work with? People like this are gems that shine and we can all learn a lot from them, make sure you take the time to do so, and also let them know how much you appreciate them. If you work with a superstar employee let us know in the comment box below, we love hearing from you and would love to hear a story about your star!
