Congratulations and much celebrations Doctor.

Cheers Speicher! It's the best job related news I've ever had. Today has turned out to be my best day in a long, long time, actually.
And I was out of the office today, hence my absence. I actually could have known about this at 0921 today, but I couldn't check my emails till this evening.
Gonna go and have a bath and go to bed. It's been a real roller-coaster sort of day, and I was up at stupid o'clock. I'm knackered, and on the verge of tears.

Thanks for the congrats, everyone. Means a lot to me.
Ooh - Waffles! If you don't want to be hugged on Sunday you'd better avoid me. Thanks to you too.
