I like where I work

I hear from a lot of my peers that they don't like their engineering jobs.  The hours are long, there is little reward for doing a good job, their co-workers and bosses are cutthroat, etc.  Everyday I go to work I feel lucky.  Lucky because first of all I have a job, but also because I work at such an awesome place.  I work someplace that values their employees, makes them feel special, and does a good job of balancing the negative reviews with positive ones.

Today I received an email from one of the directors of another group at work responding to an email I'd sent.  It read:

You rock.  Good thinking!  Thanks!

Little things like that completely brighten my day.
