Early this year, unbeknownst to me I qualified for a "Quarterly Champion Challenge", which is actually a sales challenge for which the qualifier will be recognized by a golden pin and a mention before a regional convention. I was away when they held the convention, so I neither got the pin nor, of course heard my name called out. It wasn't a big deal to me, anyhow it's just a pin. So I thought at first. After a month, my Manager asked me about the pin, so I told him, I have not gotten it.
So he gave the Regional Executive a call. The botak-head Executive thought another colleague was the winner, that's why he's keeping it. I was too shy to remind him after that when there was still no pin. Finally, he got around to it and handed me the pin last Monday, 2 quarters after winning the first quarter's challenge. Needless to say I have not qualified since then.
Now, the pin is pinned onto my postboard. It is nothing more than a piece of metal plated in gold paint, but it is a recognition for job well done. I said I didn't care, but I lied.
