I'd like to thank .....
'I'd like to thank ...' isn't something seen much around here. However, there is ample on how bad others are at doing their jobs. This is ok, people need to vent spleens on some of the appalling 'jobsworths' going around, but what about the good stuff that goes on, when people do help each other? There must be a wealth of good (and humerous) stories out there, whether or not you got to say thanks at the time.
So how about a thread where the pat on the back isn't a recce for a knife?
Some 'guidance'?:
1. Must include 'I'd like to thank'
2. No congratulating 'your own' unless it is for something other than work.
3. No unit hugs eg 'all on Y Sqn from A to B'
4. If you have nothing positive to say, don't post.
I'll start with
I'd like to thank the SMO who got me back from Det when we were on a fertility programme!
Background: My flight was due to go on a month long training det at a critical time. My FS could easily stand in for me, but the boss was having none of it (without the whole can of beans being spilled). Doc understood the stresses and wrote to boss saying I couldn't do the whole det. Did 50/50 with my FS and got a son as a result. Didn't get a chance to thank him when the news came along as he was posted.
