Hard work does get noticed

My good buddy, Teo, has been busting his ass over the past three to four weeks at his moderate paying job. At times I was disappointed he wasn't available to play more often such as last weekend when I drove down to Portland alone during rush hour. Turns out his fellow co-workers, 60 of them strong, decided to throw him a "Teo Appreciation Day" for all his hard work. I am so excited for him because it was definitely deserved. Best part of his special day wasn't just the surprise and 15 pizzas they had on hand. Get this, his co-workers all chipped in and got him $400 worth of gift certificates to REI. He didn't waste any time putting that to good use as we paid REI a visit earlier Friday night. Kudos to you Teo! Great work my friend and thanks for the gummy bears.
