You do things out of the goodness of your heart and because you want to do it. If you are doing something just to be thanked or recognized you are doing it for the wrong reason. Don't get me wrong a thank you is always nice and appreciated but it should just be a bonus.Mulberry Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757329417422690013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17743833.post-58791564547548940342008-07-29T22:15:00.000-04:002008-07-29T22:15:00.000-04:00I'm a little confused - the guy should have thanke...I'm a little confused - the guy should have thanked the officer <I>before</I> telling the crowd who he (the Commodore) was? That's weird, in my opinion. Of course, if the introduction was a long-winded patting himself on the back speech, that's different. But a simple "thank you all for coming. I'm Billy Bush, Commodore of the Shipwreck Sailing Club, and I'd like to take this oppotunity, on behalf of everyone here, to publicly applaud the efforts of Officer A. Ranger, who pulled together tremendous crew and made this a meemorable day for us all. Let's acknowledge all their hard work - Patty Piemaker, Francis Fonecaller, Roger Reservationist..."<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure why the dinner coordinator got so bent out of shape. He was thanked, right? Publicly, yes? And he got a round of applause? So where's the foul? Am I missing something? My take is that event coordinator was in it for the glory, more than anything else, and his ego got a little less stroking than it wanted.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10636304743397199784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17743833.post-78211964054556985212008-07-29T14:10:00.000-04:002008-07-29T14:10:00.000-04:00What do you mean by "officially", they were thanke...What do you mean by "officially", they were thanked in front of the crowd.Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11518698075275484026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17743833.post-80744452432849932652008-07-29T13:24:00.000-04:002008-07-29T13:24:00.000-04:00Caveat - i am not an manners professionalBut I thi...Caveat - i am not an manners professional<BR/>But I think that the dinner people should be thanked - officially.<BR/><BR/>I also think that if anyone got bent out of shape because of the manners issue than they probably should not be involved - because in this day & age, they are going to be upset more often that not.<BR/><BR/>Case in point, I am still awaiting a thank you from a December wedding - guess where the couple is going next month...
