Did a very tiny migration for a client which would normally be done against our hourly rate but decided to do it for free as it would take me like 5 minutes and it was a very important thing for him and he actually offered to pay.

Fuck it, he'll be very happy, it doesn't take me much time and I know my boss would approve.

Did the migration, messaged the client and he thanked me.

Next day a cake arrives at work with my name on it and "thanks for helping us with the migration!"

Now that's how you make my fucking day!

thanks

    I love when people are thankful for work you have done

    We were getting hundreds of emails from a mail list per minute, and I helped the mail provider work it out.

    To say sorry and thanks for the help they found our business address, which was not in my email signature, and sent me some wine.

    I am now really good friends with the tech who I helped solve the problem, we joke about it a lot

    @RiderExMachina @CoffeeNcode @404response I'm sick at the moment but had a hell of a week last week indeed. Colleagues sick and on vacation increased our workload a lot and we just got out of the vacation period and at that moment our workload increases in general so yeah.
