So yeah, today I got two awards (as a part of the teams) for a couple of projects which have been EATING MY BRAIN this past year. Wait, 2 years in one case. I've gotten a team award before that I was all, yeah, whatever, because it just needed warm bodies for data transcription. But these two? These I clutch to my bosom and go HELLS YEAH. I was a very important part of them. I've worked my ass off on them. These have been under the scrutiny of the gods.
Plus it was kinda cool that it was the guy who originally hired me who presented them (he was the department head at the time, he's directorate now.)
So I'm feeling a little preeny.
