The benefits when working for Microsoft...
Well, we had a speakers dinner at the second last day of the Microsoft Launch 2008 in Germany. Michael intended to give away prices for "best session", "best speaker", etc but since reporting wasn't done yet then he assigned prizes to the "funniest slip of the tongue", "in-time hand-over of slides" (kudos!!! I couldn't have done that ;-)) and so on.
So guess what... With eight abstracts I won the second price in the category "# of abstracts handed in" (a lovely Windows toaster ;-)).
Sweet!
