We began our day in the normal fashion .. .when suddenly we were interrupted by a "Christine Moment" ... and passed a box of tissues. The video began to play ... and it was Nebraska's Governor ... thanking me ... personally ... for my good work. I was speechless. And that was just the beginning ... I heard from Sabrina ... and Rory ... and my good friend Valerie with whom I've worked professionally, too ... and from staff members who were so kind in their accolades ... and finally ... from the Chancellor of the University (but a personal friend of Rob's ... so that's likely how that one happened!) I can't play all of them ... I'm sure that the Gov and Chancellor Perlman don't want a stream of "please do one for us" coming to their door. But I can provide two for you ... and really, weren't these the most important two?
I was an emotional wreck after the day ... but also a very happy person that my colleagues cared enough to do a farewell for me!
