Yesterday, I got a call from Recruitomatic.
Givertz: Congratulations!
CH: What for?
Givertz: You're Recruiting.com's blog of the week!
CH: Oh yeah? That's swell.
Givertz: You're awfully blase about it
CH: Have you ever heard the saying "Prizes without coffee cards are worth nothing"?
Givertz: Who said that?
CH: Some old English guy. Listen, if I want a meaningless prize I can give myself Mikey's Monkey. You want one?
Givertz: But, listen here. Now you can introduce yourself as "the award-winning". I hear that some other bloggers have done just that.
CH: That's pretty smart. Who did that?
Givertz: (whispering)
CH: They don't call him "doctor" for nothing
Thank you, Jim. It warmed my heart to get just a grain of the recognition I so deserve. Some day I'll win a very big prize and I won't forget. There'll be a coffee card in it for Jimmy-D and one for Mrs Durbinsky, as well.
PS: Fans, you have to download a PDF to read about me. And, look, Cousin Georgie got mentioned, too. So, see? You can get a lot of mileage out of being my quasi-relatiion.
