Wow, I'm not going to copy & paste eveyone's response, but you guys made me feel better. I have to try and look at it the way you explained it. As recognition for my hard work.
I have had a few that seem to be encouraging me also by asking if I'm going to keep walking when it gets really cold. I can tell they want me to keep going.
There are also the incidents where (at my desk is basically like a reception window where I sit at a desk inside a window...lower than the person standing at the window) where I clearly watch the person at the window checking out the view. I have to be careful now that my tops are looser that they are not hanging too low and providing a wonderfully clear view of the girls. LOL
Cassie ... I hope that your mom gets some answer today and oh my I really hope that your nephew gets some help at the hospital. That is a scary thing for such a young one. Lucky for him that he is a miracle baby to start with though. I hope they figure it out.

*RANT*
Rant concerning a teenager... Feel free to move on by... LOL.
OK. Here's my issue. My daughter is a great kid... I admit that. But, she's driving me insane! I just can't figure it out. She has spent the past 4 plus years busting her a**, being at the top of her class academically, President of her class for 4 years, NHS, Top 10%, around 600 hours of volunteerism, in every club and organization known to man, etc., etc., etc. And yet here it is, time to apply for scholarships, and I can't get her fired up to use all of this for her own benefit. It's SOOOO frustrating! She has everything scholarship committees look for and yet she's dragging her feet with the applications. What the heck???? I didn't have half of what she has. She's really excited to start college, but she's forgetting that she has to get through this really important step.
Last night, we spent 7 hours working on 2 applications and gathering necessary documentation because we are right at deadline. SOOOOO frustrating. I can't figure out why she's dragging her feet. I admit, it's no fun. But, if someone were going to hand me generous amounts of cash, it seems to me that I'd be happy to submit the paperwork.
She has already done all of the hard work. Now, she simply has to TELL them what she has done. I can't figure out if she hasn't fully comprehended the importance of this financially, or is it part of the "Texting Syndrome" where the ability to communicate is being lost. I've noticed that this age group hates to use the phone to inquire about things, as well. If they can't text or find it online, they will avoid the phone at all costs. I have to find a way to get her to sell her accomplishments. I can just see this age group in an important job interview, texting the answers to the questions that the interviewer poses from across the desk. I told her last night to start using her "big girl words"... I don't think that went over very well...
OK. I'm good now. Thanks! I feel much better. Time to start my day.

LOL, okay we're not old, we're the same age. Happy now? We're the same age, really? How come you look so much younger than me? What's your secret, and where can I get a jar of it?
Technically speaking I was not diagnosed with "old age" but after I completing the entire battery of tests, the doc sat down with me and said that I was going to have to learn to live with a little pain in my shoulder because although he could make it feel better, it was beyond him to turn back the hands of time.
