The following arrived in my email in-box the other day. Talk about making a professors day!
Hello Jay,
I have to share this with you. As you remember (or not), I asked you about different HRIS in the past. Well you'll be happy to know that I have handled the purchase the very first HRIS for my company ALL BY MYSELF.
From the research; viewing demos; seeking IT input (regarding software and hardware requirements); scheduling demos for my managers; endless back and forth communication with vendors; selecting final three vendors; checking references; to writing my recommendations (including pros & cons) for each one.
And yesterday, we signed the contract.
But I wouldn't have experienced such thrill if it wasn't for you. So you see, I haven't been sleeping in your class even though I didn't ace it, I have learned a whole lot! You deserve the Teacher of the Year trophy in my book...
