Work had just started for the day when Clarkson gave his little reminder. Gray & Milton were giving a few teams a week off — a "reward for consistent performance and project excellence." His words, not mine. He'd already announced it last week, but I guess he wanted to make sure we all remembered who to thank for it.
He'd even thrown in something like, "Think of it as motivation — you've earned this, now go rest and come back sharper."
Classic Clarkson. Always finding a way to make even rest sound like a job.
Only a few teams got it, though, the top performing ones. Lucky for me, Tasha's team was one of them. Which meant I was part of that list too.
The week off started today, the 16th, and would run till the 25th. Then we'd resume on the 26th, only to go off again on the 31st and 1st.
Crazy, right? A whole holiday break that somehow still manages to feel like an internship schedule.
