1,000th blog post (an excuse for an orgy of self-indulgence)

February 3, 2011

This is my 1,000th blog post!

And today, while thinking about this ridiculous landmark, I started going through my Ask a Manager “kudos” folder — which is a folder in my email where I store any particularly nice email I receive. (Do you do this? If you don’t, you should; it’s pretty awesome to read when you’re having a bad day.)

So there’s now a “Reviews” tab up at the top where some of these nice emails will reside. Because 1,000 posts entitles me to an orgy of self-indulgence, right?

I’m glad you’re so appreciated. Also, love seeing my email to you posted (hey, does that make me internet famous now? No? Okay then).

Happy 1,000th post!

Congratulations on your 1000 posts!

I like the idea of keeping encouraging emails in a place that is easy to find and re-read as required. Encouragement goes such a long way in restoring our confidence and trust in ourselves.

I look forward to the next 1000, too. :)

Yours is one of the few HRish blogs I still read. I get excited when I see you’ve posted.

Why?
“You make me want to be a better [manager].”

Congratulations! You certainly deserve to celebrate! I’m with Lexy — one of the “thank you” emails is mine, so now we’re both famous! (not really). With so many blogs out there, I am so very happy to see yours continue with much success and I look forward to reading the next 1,000 posts! Now, go treat yourself to some cupcakes! No? Okay, I’ll eat them for you. Yeah you!
