There's a member of my staff, a janitor, who donates her vacation and other leave when someone else needs it. She will come in on her own time to insure that things are "right" for others. We've told her and told her that we can wash our own cups and coffee pots, but she still does it. She'll come in on Christmas to make sure that the outside bookdrop is emptied and the place hasn't been robbed. If a toilet is stopped up she'll come in the plunge it. And then, after work, she volunteers at the hospital AND at her church.

We've put her in for the city's "Employee of the Quarter." It's about all we can do, and it should be "Employee of the Century."
