Josh S* March 26, 2013 at 8:25 am Congrats! I see that my Chicago-style ballot-stuffing efforts were a success! Vote early, vote often! A very well-deserved award. Good job, Alison!
Ed* March 24, 2013 at 10:23 pm Congratulations! It’s great that your terrific work gets noticed. I hope you get a lot of new readers from this!
Ellie H.* March 24, 2013 at 11:53 pm Congratulations!! It is great to see high quality publicly acknowledged.
jesicka309* March 25, 2013 at 12:51 am Great work! Also, a great round up of the craziest letters you’ve ever gotten! :) A great way to enjoy my lunchbreak.
KV* March 25, 2013 at 1:15 am CONGRATULATIONS Alison ! Certainly a WELL-DESERVED win, in my opinion. I have learnt to think a LOT differently ever since I started reading your blog. Even though much of the legal / procedural stuff may be America / Europe oriented, it doesn’t take away one bit from the rest of the well-thought out answers and suggestions that I have read here ! I hope to keep reading and learning more over the years. Cheers!
TheSnarkyB* March 25, 2013 at 1:41 am Congratulations!!! Thank you for making this site so awesome, for posting so much, and for curating such an awesome commenter community (I’m lookin at you Jamie)!!!
Eric Savina* March 25, 2013 at 3:54 am I stumbled upon your blog last week and the least I can say is that it is very informative! Congrats on the reward.
Jennifer* March 25, 2013 at 5:06 am Congrats Alison! As both a reader and a letter writer, your blog has helped me immensely. It’s the one I always come back to, as it is always informative, and often times very entertaining.
Blinx* March 25, 2013 at 7:39 am Many congratulations Alison! A well-deserved honor. And might I say, those were some classic columns you referenced — can’t wait to see what gets blogged about this year!
Jamie* March 25, 2013 at 9:35 am No one asked the important question – what did Alison wear to the ceremony? And is the foot healed enough for heels? Get it? A little bad homonym or homophone or heteronym humor (sorry, never could keep that kind of thing straight and Google is giving me conflicting answers.)
jubileejones* March 25, 2013 at 4:43 pm I always get those confused too. I think heteronym is a subcategory of homophone, so in this case both a homophone (same pronunciation, different meaning) and a heteronym (same pronunciation, different meaning and different spelling).
Elizabeth West* March 25, 2013 at 11:16 am Congratulations, Alison! Thank you for all your job search and work help. :)
I wish I could say* March 25, 2013 at 12:00 pm Congratulations! Thank you for doing what you do. Your column should be required reading for everyone!
Chinook* March 25, 2013 at 12:11 pm Congratulations. It is well deserved. I recommend you to many people.
khilde* March 25, 2013 at 1:13 pm Hooray! This is a great blog with a great community — well deserved. It’s actually the only blog that I’ve ever really commented on thanks to the thoughtful discussion and decency of the people on board. There isn’t a training class I teach where I fail to reference your blog and give people the address.
jubileejones* March 25, 2013 at 2:15 pm Congratulations! Well-deserved. This is one of the few blogs that I visit multiple times per day.
ECH* March 25, 2013 at 4:00 pm Yeah!! So excited for you!! I love this blog and recommend it when I can.
HB* March 25, 2013 at 5:02 pm Woo-hoo!! Congratulations! This blog has helped me in many ways – it helped me clean up my resume and cover letter to land an amazing job where I’ve been happily employed for two years, and it has helped me grow as a manager. I’ve learned how to tactfully handle tough situations and compassionately but firmly give construct feedback. Thanks for this amazing blog, Alison! I direct my friends/students here all the time!
JB* March 25, 2013 at 9:32 pm Did you call everyday to see if you won? (Reference to letter in this mailing) Love your advice. Keep it coming.
