Damn that's an awesome feeling! Congrats man!
They need someone to delete files without backing them up, then credibly blame it on highly advanced old age?
(but congrats, that must be a nice feeling)
Bad! Bad Bubble! You go stand in the corner and think about what you've done!They need someone to delete files without backing them up, then credibly blame it on highly advanced old age?

He's fine. On another day it might have stung a little but today? Today I'm just fine.
It's like everything here has snapped into focus. I've frankly been afraid for my job since they moved me to this position. And now I see that they took their sweet-assed time to get moving and I'm actually a valued member of the team.

Then I'll make him stand in the corner for another reason.
I'm so very happy for you. <hugs>
Hey now, I never say something like that to sting, just as some mild riffing as one might do with a Great Old One....I mean, beloved family member.

Oh I know, but when it's all you hear all the time, sometimes it's tiresome. But that's a me thing, not a you thing.
Yeah, that's why you rarely hear that from me anymore. Frosty Susan taught me good natured ribbing can go too far . . . and that the Beatles are overrated.
Around here, once you get known for something, the rest of the forum will beat you over the head with it. It’s what happens...until you explicitly tell them to stop. Sometimes a bit longer.

Just name some other bad traits of yours and I'll be happy to make fun of those instead
I'm pretty hard on myself and don't think I deserved to get the job I've managed to fall face first into. That said, I try my hardest to make them not realize their mistake. So this was nice to get from my boss today.
It's a stark contrast from my previous superiors and roles in terms of recognition. Been a great change and I'm looking at decent raise in the new year, a nice bonus and for the first time since I started working after moving out West, 10 days off around Christmas.

So you're there to get coffee for the six other people?
@Dave, do you want me to put him in the corner also?
It's alright, he got me back.
Must be the sweater.
It looks more like a uniform to me. I guess it makes him feel like he's back in the army.

I do if I'm trying to get @Emrys to put me in the corner.
Just one more and we can have a party over here!
Yeah, you and @Gruebeard head over that way. I'll be there as soon as I get my instruments of tort... I mean, party toys. Party toys for everyone!
Talk about having this happen at the last minute of the year though... We've got movers scheduled for the 29th and our lease at our apartment ends on the 31st.
House warming party at @Sparhawk's!Everything is done, all the T s have been crossed, I s dotted. VA has signed off all their stuff.
WE SIGN ON OUR HOUSE ON DECEMBER 28 AT 9am!
