I am reposting from an earlier conversation in February regarding MT Week. I hope everyone has a good one.
There were some naysayers and some that don't observe it......
There is a Secretary week - - you know where your boss gets you flowers or something.
It can be fun celebrating MT Week, for us, MTs, especially if you work on site and if the dept. manager will allow you.
We had games for the doctors to play, dinner for ourselves, a few gifts we got from yes, AAMT. It was a week-long deal and really broke the monotony.
Make your own celebration, do it for yourself, make a T-shirt. For my students we made T-shirts and Totes with iron-on computer generated transfers. I had a physical therapist come and talk to us and then refreshments one day. Get the totes at Hobby Lobby or whatever. Take yourself out to lunch. I'm running a Happy MT Week!! Ad in our local paper and maybe an open house at the local library to explain what MTs do if anyone wants to know. 15 dollars for the room and maybe another 25 for cookies and drinks. Tax deductible, of course.
Be an AMBASSADOR to our profession. Put a smile on your face. Believe it or not, MT has been good to you. Give a little back, share it with the public. You are part of something bigger than you - even if you type at home. Enjoy it.
