Huzzah!
A month ago now I got an email from the MVP awards folk advising me that I had been nominated, this was a bit of a surprise since I had been told in November last year that I was nominated (unofficially) and had just figured that I missed out. Apparently you only hear from MS if you win the award.
Anyway, this email said that I would find out in early April whether or not I had been successful.
Last night, at about 8:30, I realised that it was the first of April, and already had a slight doubt that I had not heard anything - even though it was a Sunday :)
Obviously, expecting an email on a Sunday about the MVP program was HIGLY unlikely, but I checked anyway - and there it was.
I am still in a slight state of shock, I wasn't really expecting to win this time around, and was gearing myself for the intake after this one.
Going forward, I will write more about what it all means, but right now I am just too excited and overwhelmed with what I now seem to have at my fingertips
