I don't know whether to congratulate you or commiserate! Does the money improve?
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

Well, seems no man (not even house) is an island...
If you've been noticed because of your efforts to avoid fawning, then it sounds like a potentially sound career move? Hope so.

Better you than me, I hate getting dressed up even just to go to church on Sunday morning. I can't imagine doing that everyday...

A bit of both I suppose. It was more of a request than an offer.

I don't know why.
I always try to do a good job of things. In most companies this does not garner any notice.
I always help co-workders where I can and never knowingly hinder them. I help develop their strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. In most companies this does not garner any notice.
I am generally too busy to join in the circle of flatters, not that it would ever occur to me to do so. In most companies this usually tags you as a loner or a social misfit.
The clients generally love me. In most companies this means nothing - no one cares what the clients think as longs as they pay their bills.
So in short, I don't know why.

Enjoy the fact that someone did in fact notice that you do a good job and that they want you to inspire others...otherwise, why promote little old you? Enjoy the extra money!

No worries here, Guts. The corp-cultch is sartorially informal. The "suit" is a metaphor for position and responsibility rather than something literal. As long as I dress on the right (correct) side of "grown-up" I will be OK.

Well, all I can say is that it is about time they recognized the talent. Working for the Govt. I see the most incompetent, lazy, smarmy brown nosers get to be bosses, while the people who care and do all the work get forgotten in the shuffle somehow. One guy I work with makes an ungodly amount of money per year and spends most of his time on his cell phone talking to his wife or buying pinball machines, instead of his job.
