and the winner is.... ME!!!!

That is right ladies and gents I actually won an award- which to me and my boring life that is some rather BIG stuff!~ Out of 30 plus stores, I was one of 7 stores that got an award for 2008 Operational Excellence! In the 5 years I have been with Bk only 2x has ANY Lynchburg store won one of theses awards... so not only was it a first for me it is also a Lynchburg rarity!! In 04 my current store (I didn't get there til 05) won a "penny pincher" award but then again when I got to this store the employees didn't even have uniforms! Then the other Lychburg store won "most improved" I have been told once or twice in my like not to necissarily to consider an award like that a compliment LOL... anyhow we won the KING award.... for taking the things we learn from BK and bringing it back to our store and making it what we live by daily.... hard to explain but I was still very pleased.

The other pic is of all our employees of the year. I have been superbly impressed by my employee of the year. He had a serious accident this past winter and broke his neck. When he was able in June he returned to work, working 4,5,6 or even 7 days a week if I needed him. He has been our dayshift KING.
