Crystal is making me (Richard) blog this post, which is really hard to do because I hate talking about how awesome I am. So now that it is established that I am awesome, I will proceed to tell you why. I was selected for Technical Honors at work for my performance in 2010. For those of you non-Raytheoners, it doesn't mean I was technically honored, it means I was honored for technical contributions. The cool thing about tech honors is that it is peer-voted, so this is kinda like being on the nerd prom court. What adds to my awesomeness is: (1) 2010 was my first year here, so I made a good impression quickly, and (2) I got tech honors in TX in 2009, making 2 years in a row!
There was a nice dinner and award ceremony that was far superior to the one in TX last year. I was able to bring Crystal to share the evening with me. My coworker Katie, below, said a few nice words about me and presented me with the award.
