Sir_Bee Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) EDIT: Scratch the request for votes, Just wanted to share my pride in the awesome work that Mrs Bee is doing. So something very exciting for Mrs. Bee (and subsequently me) happened this past weekend. She got nominated among 11 others for Best Dental Hygienist in our area. She has always been one to have a low level of self confidence, and often undersells herself, so I am super proud of this nomination, and I thought it would be great for her if she could win. That is where you would all come in. I am reaching out to those who would like to help, and asking that you go to the link below and vote for "Jessie Peloso from Waterloo Smiles". There isn't any prize (that I am aware of) but I am sure it would make her very happy if she manages to win. Thanks for your votes https://www.therecord.com/readerschoice/categories/people-professionals/subcategories/dental-hygienist EDIT** As it turns out you have to make an account to vote, and since they ask for your postal code, it likely would not work if you are voting from other places in the world. That is a shame Needless to say I am still very proud of her for the nomination, so I don't want to remove this post all together. Edited September 9, 2019 by Sir_Bee Changed my mind about what I wanted to accomplish 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Well, best of luck to the Mrs. I think I'd be honored just to get a nomination. Even if she doesn't win, she should feel good about herself and know that her talents aren't going unrecognized. There's a reason she was nominated for the award in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaserPL Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 What if I needed some dental care while during vacation, and it turned out to be the best dental care I have ever had? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Waterloo Dental is only 172 miles away from my house. It's plausible I drive three hours for regular dental care, isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for sure that you cannot vote while living out of the area, I just assumed as such.

That is absolutely reasonable, she is worth it. 12 minutes ago, Beyondthegrave07 said: Well, best of luck to the Mrs. I think I'd be honored just to get a nomination.

I agree, and I try to get her to see it as well. I do think that she is pretty happy with this nomination. She only just found out about it, so it may not have fully sunk in yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfBambam55 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I say let the chips fall where they may...not a fan of doctoring votes...haha...i run an award-winning business and I find it kind of sad that other companies might be doing things like this to try to get up to our level... i'd recommend she reach out to her patients for support (perhaps a brief memo handed out at the end of the checkups), not randoms on the internet on a gaming site, however humble the request may be...then whether she wins or not, she can post a small thanks to her patients somewhere visible with the update of the results...it can help bolster a bit of a community feel and pave the way for future nominations and milestones...being nominated is great so a big congratz and I wish her the best of luck...two cents... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a perfectly reasonable view and I can respect it :). The problem with getting her patients on board is that they technically aren't her patients, they 'belong' to the dentist that she works for, and that relationship isn't very strong. I will pose the idea to her and see if she can figure out a way to let them know. Thanks for your input 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mentioned the idea to her and she is going to consider how to bring it up with the Dentist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually judge a place not just by its dentist but also the hygienist. It could have a great dentist, but if the hygienists aren't nice or good then it matters to me, especially sense you see the hygienist frequently. So she may be surprised about how many people remember her and like her just as much as the dentist! If not more! Hope she wins! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
