I'm working for them before they're even here

Tuesday's post about my work e-mail inbox? It's all made worthwhile when I get stuff like this:

"Thank you for working so hard to make sure my application is complete. Already, KU has gone above and beyond for me, and I cannot tell you how eagerly I will await a response to my application. I cannot thank you enough."

Yay!

I am fond of the saying, "You can buy a dog with money, but only kindness will wag its tail."

Awwwww.

You should get DOZENS of those. The work you do is way, way above similar "service" people experience elsewhere, believe me.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you. That means a lot, coming from someone in the know.

Awesomeness! You rock.

I know exactly what you mean: The students each semester who go out of their way to thank me - they make it worthwhile for all the rest who just pass through our lives.

they make it worthwhile for all the rest who just pass through our lives.

And sometimes it's enough to make us briefly forget all the ones who are active assholes!

Wahoo!!

Yay! indeed.
One comment like this can make it all worthwhile.
Someone appreciates you, besides us that is.

Agree with all the above & firmly believe there should be days when your Inbox has 96 compliments in it.

Right now, my "blush folder" has four items in it. I turned in last year's batch for my December review. So four items so far this year. Not bad!

I should do this! And go you! You ROCK!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yes! Everyone should save their written-up kudos for annual evals.

Wow, a grad student you won't have to train. Treasure them :)!
