Warm fuzzies!

One of the traditions that artisticphoenix   got us started on years ago was the “Mathom Box,” which like so many things is Tolkien-inspired.

 

It really started when we were teaching, and whenever we got a warm, fuzzy note from a supervisor, colleague, student or parent, we’d stash it away for a rainy day.

 

Since I am on a “Let’s look at the good news” kick, I thought I would post these two here.

 

1. From a colleague who handles the Food Pantry here at the agency:

 

Hi Bill. [A specific customer] was in this afternoon trying to sign up for UI and also used the pantry. He asked if you were here and said you were very helpful over the phone. He just lost his job. He will be back in the morning. No need to follow up just wanted to let you know you were being praised. Have a great day! ~ Karen

 

2. From a football coach whose team I covered Saturday:

 

Bill,

 

Thanks so much for the article - I have enjoyed reading the articles you have written about all this season. It is hard to enjoy a 39 -0 defeat but your kind words help to balance the good with the bad. 

 

Thanks again,

Pat
