It has been a long week in the office for my husband the
other week, he and his team were crunching up for a deadline to bag an
important client for the company. They have been working on this proposal for
two months already and it was the week that will test how well the marketing team works.
Being a full time housewife, I also feel the jitters when he
mentions projects, proposals, and other stuff he has been working on. I guess
you could call me a marketing-director-stage-wife. So imagine my excitement for
him when he came back from office with a happy look on face. They got the
client of course.
And he also said that the client was floored with the
marketing strategy presentation they gave them. I was ecstatic for that; after
all I was also staying up late when my husband has to bring homework trying to
finish it at the dead of the night.
To serve as an incentive and a reward for closing the
partnership deal with the client, the company to which my husband works for
gave them a free-seated massage right in their offices. Massage therapist line
up and everyone was given a good back rub and massage to remove the knots on
their backs from the stress they went through.
I have to hand it to their boss
for being nice of him to treat his employees to a relaxing and soothing massage
after a long tiring work. The work shadows from my husband’s face was lifted
and he was all praise and words on how great he felt after the stressful week.
He told our son about his treat and even showed him how it
was done so that Joshua could imagine how it was done. And now, every after a
tiring day doing gardening, washing the clothes, and cooking for the family, he
would ask me to sit facing the back rest and place a pillow for me to rest my
head on a do a seated massage.
My husband said that even housewives could get a
treat like that. So I looked for it on the Internet the other night, and he
caught me browsing in the Internet. He chuckled and softly kissed me on the
cheeks and said that I should get to sleep soon because tomorrows Joshua’s
birthday party would drain the energy out of me.
Today I am blogging at how sweet my husband is for treating
me to a seated massage after hosting and preparing the birthday party of our
son Joshua. Now I know how great and relaxing it felt after the session.
The
tension and the soreness I felt on the back running around children and serving
them food was taken away. I cannot think of any other way he could have
surprised me with something that was helpful for me, and something that I
really do not mind getting one again.
When it comes to hardworking employees who deserve something nice, you can't beat a corporate massage trip! It's something they're likely to not purchase for themselves, so it's always a pleasant surprise. Great idea, thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a really good idea having a corporate massage available. I have never worked in a place where they offered it but I think if I did would love to take advantage of it for sure. Great article thanks for sharing!
