| Me with the 2012 Regional Spelling Bee Champion |
Although my employment with the paper came to an end in February, arrangements were made for me to continue my reign as Queen Bee (more formally known as Spelling Bee Coordinator) and see the Bee through til the end. I am a firm believer that commitments made should be kept and when I start something, I darn well plan to finish it.
The Spelling Bee is like a child to me, I put forth a large amount of time and effort into each Bee and take a lot of pride in putting together a successful event each year. I was happy I had the opportunity to finish out this year's Bee. There were 72 spellers, 4 pronouncers and 12 judges all counting on me to have everything in place for a perfect Bee.
I had to go into the office a good bit last week to finish getting everything together for the Bee. It was definitely a strange feeling and I had to keep telling myself that I don't actually work there anymore. I felt like Milton from Office Space - you know, was never actually told he was laid off and just kept coming to work. His desk eventually got moved to the basement. I think he kept getting paid though.
Well Done Queen Bee!! You are already missed!
