On our company intranet, we have a section called "Employee Spotlight." This is not for employees that are being praised for their hard work, ala Employee of the Month. It's more of a get-to-know section for employees. The employee featured changes on a weekly basis and, as far as I know, is chosen at random. This morning, the employee featured on the spotlight has been changed and is our very own NB. So, this chapter of The NB Diaries is written by NB herself.
