That is a great point, Minnie. Back when I used to do evaluations of coworkers (retail store where I worked), workers used to expect to get Much Above Average all the time. Instead, most of their work was Average -- or "Givens" in your example. We expect special recognition for things we SHOULD be doing in a relationship or at work, when in actuality it is what we do that is extraordinary that deserves special recognition.
