Moment of Bliss - 24 :: An appreciation mail

Dear Gowri
It is quite natural for one to get lot of BEST WISHES mail when he gets a managerial promotion. It was not surprising for me to get around 80 - 100 notes expressing their happiness on the All employee mail that was triggered by 9.30 Am on friday.
While thanking them one by one, I was particularly enjoying "few" extra phrases in their Best Wishes mail like " you deserve it long back"...and "Delighted to see this mail"....from few of my friends. I was also noting that there was a good distribution of GRADES of people who had responded....
This particular note amused me. It was sent by a girl who has been working with me for nearly two years. Joined at the entry level, she has climbed up as a senior processor and worked with a team which is closely knitted to my operations where I worked earlier. We know each other quite well but never I can call this relationship as friendship OR has extended beyond smiles and basic courtesies. She - by co-incidence - has come to CBE thru' some other team where she joined after getting relieved from her old team AS I have moved to the project team from my erstwhile team. For that matter just one person had come to CBE from my old team who reported to me...and being as a focal point I have interacted with all the 100 staff at the new office....as the basic role until now had been to facilitate them and to settle down them in terms of infrastructure.
This girl about whom I had been describing is just one among the 100 and this small note that came from her made me realise how much I have impacted people around me and the number of admirers that I have. I am sure the messages about me and my style of functioning have reached my new team (which is 42 in number now which could touch more than 100 over a period of next 6 - 8 months) who was pin drop silent when I called them to the meeting room on friday....for a self introduction. Many of them are too young and was quite tongue tied unable to digest that some one who was supporting them administratively is taking over as their lead.....I am sure they talk to each other...and the expectations are going too high on me.
This note delighted me so much that I feel so confident about making little bit of changes in my overall personality and style....to cater to the new role and the demands of the position.
Well, I keep talking about the "note" but not even showing it, Huh ? Here it is....
