Got an email from an old friend who used to work for me letting me know how much she missed me. She went on to let me know how much she respected the job I had done back when I was her boss because she is in a similar management position now. Her quote to me was, "How in the hell did you keep a smile on your face and keep your cool for all those years when dealing with all of these bullshit issues and the pressure? Things always ran so smoothly when you were in charge."

I'm sure she was just blowing a bit of smoke up my ass so she can maybe have a place to stay when she's back in Iowa in a couple of weeks but it sure felt nice to get at least a nod of thanks from her.
