I'm so sorry - I know this isn't really Sim related but I just really wanted to tell all of you Happy Thanksgiving. I keep looking on the bright side, and realize that even though things aren't really how I want them, I do have a lot to be thankful for. Like my Boss keeps saying "Bogie, you could be lying in a hospital bed in a coma". With my luck, I would wake up from the coma, get out of bed, trip, fall, and break my leg!!
So I'm riding my Sim to learn the Turkey recipe in celebration..but I do want to share something with all of you, because it really touched me to the point of posting this, and I apologize if I am breaking any forum rules, I don't mean to.
IRL, I am a Financial Management Analyst for the Federal Gov...(I know, snoozeville to most) I work for an agency that provides services to other agencies. Anyway, we had a Financial problem, and after back and forth e-mails, someone over at an Army Installation we have an agreement with called me. Long story short, she asked me to e-mail her the details of my analysis to her, so she could present it to her Commanding Officer. This was a couple of weeks ago. I did, and thought nothing of it.. until I received this e-mail.
"Ms. Bogie, sorry for not responding until now, but I am overseas on tour in Iraq, and access to the internet is limited"
Now this really throws me. I look at the e-mail address. I had forgotten to include the middle initial of the person who had called me, and this soldier out in Iraq with the same name got my e-mail. It wasn't a common last name either which really made it even more touching to me frankly.. Just the fact that this poor soldier is out there in the desert, so concerned about this stupid e-mail I sent that she takes the time to respond, and to APOLOGIZE for not responding sooner..I was just so choked up I could barely read on. Just made me really think. I DO have so much to be thankful for.
