To make a long story short, I've had a horrible week at work, and I went to check the mail for enough money to cover payroll I found a hand written card with my name on it.

I opened it up and there was a $50 BPS gift card for giving another company on a lead that was outside of my company's specs. Pretty cool.

Gotta love that. A pat on the back plus some free money that has to be spent on gear.

Good things happen to good people.  Being a business owner I have tried to never burn a bridge.  You never know when you might need to get back across that bridge.  I have also tried to explain to my wife many times that Karma is a real thing, and sometimes doing something nice for someone will come back 10 fold.  She doesn't get it, but one day she will.
