trophy?

It happened today, I saw an alert and I thought "maybe someone liked my post" but no, it was something completely different. It was an special alert, it said:

"You have been awarded a trophy: Can't Stop me now! You've posted 250 messages. Keep it up!".

I felt so special and powerful that I now I can do everything, I can transform water into wine like Jesuschrist!

How did you felt when you received this special trophy?

:biggrin:

Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
