Appreciation

It's nice to be appreciated. It doesn't happen all the time, but it is nice when it does occur. Today at Novell one of the managers of the team I work with mostly did a really nice thing for me.

Yesterday I was at the office supply store looking at mice for laptops. You know the ones I'm talking about? Wireless with a tiny little plug-in for the computer and they fold or do something to be small when they aren't being used. Anyway, I was looking at the Microsoft Arc mouse and I thought it would work well for me, but I was concerned that it wouldn't be precise enough. Well, this morning one of the people in my morning meeting had one and I was able to check it out and it worked well.

I had just mentioned that I was looking at them so for lunch, this manager went out and bought me one! Just to thank me for all the work I was doing on the project, they bought me the mouse. It's nice to be appreciated.
