I received a note from my boss yesterday, it says I quote:
"....I want to thank you for all of your support, hard work and diligent effort you showed during the year end close. As a manager I am fortunate to be able to work with an employee such as you."
(grins) I took it as a big compliment especially coming from him. I don't mean to brag, but I worked so hard for my job and don't mind a pat on the shoulder once in a while.
