the greatest gift | thank you golo

Published Jul. 2, 2009

So, I'm walking out of the building today, rather early and our receptionist Jewel points to a box and says: "Angela that's for you."

"Me?" I ask, admittedly taken back a bit.

"Yes?"

"Who dropped it off?"

"Some guy with a crutch."

I start thinking about that for a minute and I must tell you that I immediately thought of the one-armed man in the movie, The Fugitive.

So I took it with me to the car (after making sure that it wasn't ticking) and finally opened it when I got home. 

I could not believe the beautiful clock and inscription thanking WRAL, GOLO and me personally for community service on our second anniversary. 

Whoever is behind this, please know that I am humbled and deeply touched. It's the last thing I expected and I cannot thank you enough.

If I didn't know it for certain before this day, I sure as heck know now that you all appreciate GOLO and the work we do here.

Thank you. 

Have a great holiday weekend. And I can't wait to showe everyone the beautiful clock when I get back to work next week.  

 

Now, someone please reveal the identity of the man with the crutch. :-)

-Angela

AWW!! Isn't that sweet!!! You done good girl. Thanks for putting up with the "stuff"!!

The crutch was a "prop" pun intended, to hide their true idenity.

JOO

Nic you are so busted! Was it you?

And Angela, if you have any doubts, we LOVE Golo. :)

LOL!

{{{{Sandra}}}} fancy meeting you on such a wonderful blog as this...

Ain't that Angela person just the greatest?

She sure is, Nic. But I've got to say, she's got competition with you around. ;)

It wasn't me, I use a Hoveround.

That was such a great thing for someone to do!! Congrats, and keep up the good work!!

"Nic you are so busted! Was it you?"

.....absolutely not....and as much as I would love to take credit for such a thoughtful act as this....the one who truly did this gracious deed would certainly know I was lying....

But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!!!

It wasn't me, I use a Hoveround."

LOL at Mary, except when you are jetting around like a mad thing on your jet ski!

I should have carved notches in it for all the times I been promoted!

LOL @ G

What a wonderful gesture, you certainly deserve it!

Have a great weekend!

"It wasn't me, I use a Hoveround."

Go go go Mary ;)

Congratulations Angela!!!

It was not me...I am a woman *LOL*

A couple months ago it could have been Stephanie...Opps Woman there too!!!

CONGRATS Angela!!!

And what a GREAT person to do such a sweet thing to make Angela's day.

BUT wait...a clock that was not ticking??? Hmmm

Don't know who but I don't know anybody who deserves it more! Congratulations!

It was me,

No it wasn't,

Yes it was,

No it wasn't,

Yes it was,

No it wasn't.

haha,

How very sweet! Happy Birthday to your project! May you live to see the next one. HAHAHA, sorry.

What a sweet gift! And so deserving a recipient. Angela, you are Number One to your GOLO fans.

Hit wuz Hopalongcassidy.

Angela,

Now you know the truth-you are loved and appreciated.

What a great gift! You are definitely appreciated, Angela!

Perhaps a more useful gift for around here would have been a plunger.

;)

how nice. We do appreciate golo! and you and your staff!

How sweet =)

I was just looking at the Image Gallery where GOLOers met for lunch...

Hmmm Nic...that one picture of you looks just like House...House uses a cane

headlong, I thought the same thing! It should have been ticking! Angela, what would you have done if you could HEAR the ticking before you opened it, I wonder?? LOL It is well deserved.

Angela, WILL you take me on as a special case? You are the best!

I had planned onbringing a box of Krispy Kreme's...but they smelled so good on the trip to Raleigh, alas, they didn't survive the trip. And I figured the box with only slight traces of it's former contents wouldn't be welcomed. Next year I also will think to bring something less...perishable.

What a great story! Happy Independence Day, Angela! You rock!

Now how did Angela get a GOLO birthday present and we didn't? I'm jealous! Errrrr. Especially when it's us that's been producing all the work that's helping this economy? Why I'd have to say we're job security to her! Heeheee!

CONGRADULATIONS Angela!!
