High praise indeed

llcoolvadSo this happened on our work IM system the other day and I saved it at the time, and I realized it was still making me laugh days later so I thought I'd share:
MyBoss: hey laurie
MyBoss: very nice work
MyBoss: on the (project1), (project2)
Me: oh, thanks!
I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, but that was our entire conversation. I don’t think MyBoss has ever complimented me before on anything*. This is so typical of him, though. He's in India right now, so of course the way to motivate the troops back home is to pop on IM at random times with no warning and say stuff like this. Hilarious.
As I said to Patrick, someday when I’m 102 and still working here, and MyBoss is 100 and still my boss, I can whip this out and relive the glory. Whoo!
* And really, he still hasn't!
