I was brought up in the south. My parents taught me compliments are just part of good manners.
Now that I am older and have been on my own since I was 15 years old, I realize that working for or with someone that doesn't ever compliment you on a job well done makes you feel unappreciated. A simple 'good job' comment can go a long way in any kind of relationship. Now I know some of you are thinking that on the job, you shouldn't have to be told you're doing well because it is your job. Whatever you feel is fine with me. I can tell you this, if you post something in a thread at TFP that you have worked on for awhile it gives you a feeling of some kind of accomplishment when someone says how much they liked it rather than seeing 300 people looked at it and you only have 3 comments.
P.S. HALX, I do have a great job. You have so much going on that it would give me a headache
