Escribano -> Hey, I just won an award! (Apr. 23 2010 9:34:13)

Well blow me, and no apologies for the bragging rights. I had such a hard year working my guts out, no guitar at all (no time, too tired, never in the mood). After the layoffs I was just trying to keep my job and then I get this:

From: General Manager, Microsoft Services UK

Hi Simon,

One of the things I really like about this job of mine is that I get to know about all the great things that are being done in the UK Services team. Many of these achievements are highlighted through the various award programmes. Iā€™m delighted to be able to tell you that your achievements earned you a nomination for a worldwide Services Great People Great Performance (GPGP) award ā€“ and you have been chosen as one of the winners!

You were nominated for how you took on a very complex engagement where a partner was failing to deliver and, with your technical knowledge, political savvy and tenacious approach helped turn the project into a great success. Your work resulted in a VSAT (top customer feedback score) ā€“ your third this year!

Thank you ā€“ and congratulations on your award!



Funny, I had this on my desktop all year. I guess it worked:

i hope that means 100% secure job now for the next time (and also somehow maybe more money in the future !) [:D]

Everyone needs some appreciation from time to time. It's a tricky company, Microsoft; they expect more than one's best but just when you've had enough, they remember you.

That project was tough though, 60,000 users and a lot of technical issues, whilst fighting off their CIO who didn't want to pay for it [:D]

Love to you and Harold too. I'll look you up when I come down to check on my house in September, probably.

Hey Arash, there was cash with the award but no pay rise... yet.

These words describe you properly, I concur and congratulate you. The same applies here, on the foro... thank you for this gift, Escribano.

We should also send you an award (biweekly). For now, it will suffice to say that I -we- could not hope for a better, more competent, intelligent and congenial person to lead this little wonder you make available and manage, ForoFlamenco.com, "eso es" !!

Cheers,

Great stuff, and I bet Carrot is proud of you!

Congrats Simon!

And this on St. George's Day as well!

Well done mate! [;)]

cheers,

Ron




mrMagenta -> RE: Hey, I just won an award! (Apr. 23 2010 11:10:42)

Wow, Well done!

I'm sure such an award doesn't come easy.
I agree with Giacomo that you deserve a prize for making this foro such a success also. :-)

Loved your story about Gilles and the Renault.

Cool man, all the more poignant at at time where many people are getting redundancy notices instead of a pat on the back.
