I showed up this morning to work to find a thank you card from a staff. It really touched me. It made it all worthwhile to know that someone appreciates that I take the time to teach and mentor rather than just dictate the right answers. It made it all worthwhile to know that someone appreciates how flexible I am about when we work and how we work. That there's more to life than just this job and that it's important to be flexible so that we can all have the outside-of-work things that are important to us - friends, family, religion, downtime, etc.
Such a simple gesture to renew my spirits and remind me why exactly I do my job the way I do it.
