Came into the office this morning, walked by my mailbox and found a bright red interoffice envelope with my name on it. Opened it up to find a copy of the draft final report for a project I was deeply invested in before I left to go to grad school with a welcome back note from the PD. "That's nice," I thought to myself. Then I looked closer. My name was on the front cover! I was given credit for the work I did!! And I'm not even a real employee anymore!!!
It is kind of an unwritten rule at my company that you don't get front cover credit unless you are a senior person on the contract or you've written large sections of the report. While I did do an awful lot of work on this project, I have done more work on other final reports without getting cover credit. Not something that matters a lot in any measurable way, but it put a smile on my face this morning and that is enough. Thanks, Peter!
