Trumpet blowing warning:
Been out to an awards ceremony tonight, collecting this.
The citation that was read out had me crawling up my own arse with embarrassment.
Essentially, it’s for the support I gave to officers in the aftermath of the double child murder last year, but it also spoke about other stuff I do to support the force. All of which I am happy to do, but my management are critical of.
Which is why I’m sharing it here, but not with my bosses.
A quotation from Bierce, Ambrose:
«
COMMENDATION, n. The tribute that we pay to achievements that resemble, but do not equal, our own.

I normally only run dungeons with my brother and I forgot how good it feels to get all the commendations because I single handedly saved the party from a wipe 😸 #ffxiv #commendation #dutyfinder #expertroullette
