Last bump. I have a test at work today, _and_ have misplaced my little sheet with my totals on it. I’ll have to retotal everything up after work. Tripler More to follow. . . ---

Jeez, isn’t it traditional to _tell_ the award winners that they won? If it wasn’t for my inherent narcissism compelling me to do vanity searches every few weeks, I’ve have missed this honor completely… Fix this, or _heads will roll!_😃 ---

> [@Qadgop\_the\_Mercotan](#): > > Jeez, isn’t it traditional to _tell_ the award winners that they won? Oh snap! :smack: Notifications sent! I got a little tied up with two tests that week. And then it slipped my mind completely. . . Notes on the way, with invitations to deliver an acceptance speech in-thread. Tripler Sorry about that!
