  I used to work in the Windows org and I have to say, those ship parties really can make you feel like all the blood, sweat and tears you've put into the product is appreciated. You get a chance to step back and say "hey, we built this, and it's awesome!" and you're reminded of where your product sits in the big picture - that it's something a BILLION people use. That still gives me goosebumps - working on a product like Windows really does mean having an impact. And that's something to celebrate!

  I think that in tough and good economic times, people forget to celebrate the benefits of hard work accomplished. Professionals finish a project, acquire a new client, reach a milestone or beat the budget and then seamlessly move on to the next challenge or project. Without celebration of the achievements that we make, it is very difficult to realize where we have come from or where we are going. We simply continue to push forward, eventually losing our enthusiasm and passion for our daily lives. Nice to see a group still taking the time to say "Job Well Done", a lot of companies miss the point all around.
