Work
"I love this company!"** I was called into my bosses bosses office this morning. One of my customers was there with one of his subordinates. We were all filed into her office, and she directed my attention to the speakerphone where yet another one of my customers from New York was listening. [yikes!]
Basically, it went something like, "So we're all here to discuss [project]. I know we've had alot of meetings and a lot of traveling and a bunch of code has been written, but this meeting isn't going to be like that. This is a 'thank you' meeting."
They all took turns thanking me for my work over the past months. My humility intact, I was humbled to have received their praise. Then, they handed me a big fat check. My second this year.
I guess the next few cruises are paid for.
