Work updates

The latest senior management work obsession--I've written about a few others here and there--is about a specific mission and vision statement, and it's unclear what we have to do about it. I went to a meeting about it yesterday and it was mostly just a chat-and-practice session, but one person said that it was important to use some of the keywords and apply it to your job. But the person organizing the meeting said that we had to memorize them verbatim, so who knows exactly what the actual requirement is. Hopefully they'll be some more clarity on this unifying statement that's supposed to bring the entire department together. 
On the other hand, one of the people I was sitting with was in my division and asked me when I was going to get a promotion. I said hopefully soon and he said that everything thinks I do good work, so ב״ה it'll happen! Just need a chance to actually do more--one of the problem of being extremely good at my job and the go-to person for my job is that if I leave, the job doesn't get done.
The second thing isn't directly related to my job, but to its location--they're giving us an option for a cheaper membership in the luxury spa in the hotel downstairs. Twenty percent lower monthly dues, ninety percent lower initiation fee, twenty percent off spa treatments, fifteen percent off food at the hotel...it does all sound nice, but the question is, will I use it at all? And if I don't, can I give these discounts to![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
sashagee, who's liable to be more interested in the spa treatments than me? I mean, people already think I'm ten years younger than I am, I don't need a lot of spa therapy to maintain my youth (though some of the services do sound extremely relaxing). To justify a membership I'd have to go regularly and with being in the office only twice a week I doubt I'm going to do that. On the other hand, maybe going together with sashagee would be fun. That might be something to do for the weekend after next, when Laila will be at the grandparents'.
