I consider myself very fortunate. So many times people have to deal with back-biting and underhandedness at work. Whereas I have recently had several instances where co-workers and/or superiors have taken a moment to compliment my efforts upwards and in writing. I am so flattered by their words and sentiments.

On an unrelated side note:
One of my co-workers was once a fellow ‘shot-put’ competitor (and even a fellow state-ranked putter at that).
We are a proud and rare breed and it is always fun to find one another.
