Yay for everything going well and the client being that happy that they showed it :D
Every time you describe your job (even if it's vaguely for obvious reasons) I always feel glad that I have my tiny little low paying thing where the hardest thing I have to deal with are neurospicy kids who may have had a bad day earlier or just really don't feel like doing the things I'm trying to get them to do.
And having said that apparently the parents like how I deal with their babies enough that I seem to end up with a hell of a lot of chocolate at the end of the year ^_^
I'm very focused on not working and have a date for that to occur, but in the mean time I have to do what I do and at a high level due to the demanding scenarios. I really wish I had a more simple job, I look around from time to time, but until then...complex, difficult and stressful.
I think reward/thanks/gratitude can come in so many ways and, as I've said, it's not always monetary. I get the impression you're very well regarded and that pays dividends in chocolate it seems. Good one!
On the bright side of that you'll be able to retire comfortably, I think I'm pretty much doomed ^_^;
