screwing up for 3 hours

News of the week... I got a Service Award in the interoffice mail, along with a gift card, due to a recommendation from one of our users. Yesterday, the manager of a group I'd helped wrote to me "You're the best." Last night, I spent more than 3 hours putting a desk together for my wife, and it involved more turning of the screw than the Henry James novel did. Finally, my wife, who recently got a contract for a contemporary fantasy trilogy for Tor, also received an offer or a 3-book contract with Harlequin.
