BTW, I got a biiiig surprise at work. I was told that there was going to
be an afternoon tea break in my office, paid by the big boss and it was
for Intel, for their hard work.
The boss came in. He had a huge box of Roses chocolates in his hand,
and a large cheesecake. I looked up but thought nothing of it.
As soon as everyone had gathered in the office, he said he wanted to
talk to me.
There and then he told me that the box of chocolates was for me! Seemingly
whenever he mentioned 'Waitakere Police' at the other stations around the
country, the other bosses there immediately mentioned my name in
connection with my Intel work. Saying about my high standards in accuracy
and high production rate. Looks like I'm the number 1 computer operator
in the country for the cops.
Then the boss gave me the chocolates and cut the cheese cake. He told
me also that the entire teabreak food was on behalf of me. And everyone
clapped me.

I told one of my workmates, that that was the first time I got the clap. LOL!
Needless to say I was totally gobsmacked... Nay!!!!... absolutely mortified.
I hid behind my PC.
