1,000th blog post (an excuse for an orgy of self-indulgence) by Alison Green on February 3, 2011 This is my 1,000th blog post! And today, while thinking about this ridiculous landmark, I started going through my Ask a Manager “kudos” folder — which is a folder in my email where I store any particularly nice email I receive. (Do you do this? If you don’t, you should; it’s pretty awesome to read when you’re having a bad day.) So there’s now a “Reviews” tab up at the top where some of these nice emails will reside. Because 1,000 posts entitles me to an orgy of self-indulgence, right?

Lexy* February 3, 2011 at 6:39 pm I’m glad you’re so appreciated. Also, love seeing my email to you posted (hey, does that make me internet famous now? No? Okay then). Happy 1,000th post!
Ruby* February 3, 2011 at 8:29 pm Congratulations on your 1000 posts! I like the idea of keeping encouraging emails in a place that is easy to find and re-read as required. Encouragement goes such a long way in restoring our confidence and trust in ourselves. I look forward to the next 1000, too. :)
Rachel* February 3, 2011 at 8:34 pm Yours is one of the few HRish blogs I still read. I get excited when I see you’ve posted. Why? “You make me want to be a better [manager].”

Melissa* February 4, 2011 at 9:57 am Congratulations! You certainly deserve to celebrate! I’m with Lexy — one of the “thank you” emails is mine, so now we’re both famous! (not really). With so many blogs out there, I am so very happy to see yours continue with much success and I look forward to reading the next 1,000 posts! Now, go treat yourself to some cupcakes! No? Okay, I’ll eat them for you. Yeah you!
