And then

someone you haven't spoken with in over two years surprises you with a phone call and a classic, wonderful compliment:

“It reminded me of something you used to do: any time someone came by your desk, you’d stop what you were doing, stand up and give them your full attention. No e-mail. No instant messenger. 100% focus. When I find myself distracted I remember that.”

Made my day.

Also a tiny bit disturbing because I don't think I stick to that so much anymore.
