I posted this on Facebook, but figured I would also post it here to preserve it for good measure (plus I got an itch for actually publishing something on this cob-web-infested blog). I received the following email from a student that I helped with some research:
Good Morning Chad,
Within 3 clicks I found exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for your amazing help and timely response during this stressful week! It is very much appreciated!
Happy Holidays!
This made my day. Sincere gratitude can go a long way, especially when you really mean it. Be nice. Pass it on.
