I won an award. I won two awards.
“Chris, thank you for being an amazing technical lead. You have mentored all the new team members and keep the older ones in line. … Your leadership and knowledge have helped this team grow immensely. Lourdes and I are very much thankful for your contributions, leadership, and forward leaning thinking!”
and a small one, arguably more meaningful, as it was from a peer:
“Thank you for ALL your support and guidance. Really appreciate it !!!”
It is one (two) of those awards I get to shop for. I am feeling jewelry again this time.
