Counting My Blessings

It's not boasting if it's true and told in a matter-of-fact way.  

How do you like my Elphaba look?
Green hair and stockings + black dress.
People at work say that my promotion announcement is the most extravagant announcement in our company's history.  Champagne toasts, round of applause, cheering and jeering at  Opus on a Friday night with the rest of the team, clients, partners, and friends.

This is not actually true.  It was all about being in the right place, right time AND (especially) having awesome friends.  The company was actually launching a new division/business and it was our Chairman's birthday.  My opportunist office-friends (you know who you are), as expected, fancied the moment to also toast me!  I am not much of a public speaker and I think it's already abusing the moment so I just went up there and squeaked my simple thanks.  

Kidding aside, it does feel great to be appreciated especially those times when it's most needed.  

Team Awesome with our game faces
