MIT has this program wherein every department gets an annual Rewards & Recognition stipend to distribute among those deemed deserving by their peers.
We had this year's awards presentation for the Press this afternoon, and I won one! More specifically, I won one of the BIG awards -- the Exceptional Contribution category. (I won one a couple years ago in one of the smaller categories, the "Angel" award. Then last year I sat on the awards committee, so I was ineligible anyway. But this...!)
I am totally floored. OMG! OMG!
Wonder if this means I can go home early? :-) And pack for tomorrow's departure? Great news to bring home to Mom, anyway.

Did it come with a certificate? Or maybe one of those lucite block paperweights that will long outlive the human race?
One of my treasures from State Street is from when they were changing the company logo and branding; it's an aluminum pencil cup that weighs about half a pound, suitable for weighing down a whole desk's worth of papers, or possibly as a weapon.
adding in my two cents...
