Employee of the Month Stole the Plaque ~ Heavy Blend Hoodie

Top Performer ~ Also the Reason for the New Locks

The ceremony was lovely. The handshake was firm. By Friday, the award, the frame, and a box of break-room creamer were in the back of someone's car, and nobody could prove a thing.

• For the loveable office menace: A gift for the coworker who 'borrows' the good stapler permanently, the friend who got promoted and a formal warning in the same quarter, and whoever keeps taking the labelmaker.
• Recognition earned, item missing: The name went up on the wall. The wall is now empty.
• Recognized by: Part of Modern Scoundrels, plaque not included.

Cold spray off the bow, a long night watch, a captain who refuses to call it a day ~ this Gildan Heavy Blend hoodie keeps the crew warm through all of it with soft cotton-poly fleece, a double-lined hood, a roomy front pouch for snacks and treasure maps, and ribbed cuffs that hold the wind out ~ Damien's parrot approves of the hood
