What's the nicest thing a teacher/boss/professor has ever said to you?

Boss: Until you took vacation I never realized how much work you do for us. It took 3 of us to do your job this week. (best part was this happened 2 weeks before bonuses were decided )

7th grade typing teacher admitted I was a faster typist than her.

Also, Intro to C++ class in college. Class was mostly dumbasses that couldnt program their way out of a box, and the TA was about the same. Had an assignment where we write a program that takes a string, and then spits out how many of each character A-Z were in that string. Everyone in the class writes the program with a bunch of statements that check each character in the string individually against each character in the alphabet.

If char = A
If char = B
If char = C

so on and so forth...

I write a simple loop that converts each character to it's ascii integer, and builds an array with a series of counters that increment the array at the index corresponding with that letters ascii value. The dumbass TA actually had to call me into his office to explain to him what the hell I was doing, even though it worked just fine.

Me: How did I do?
Teacher: Want to go in the bathroom?
Me: You aren't hot enough for that.
Teacher: You failed.

Professor to me: "Wow, you know more than some of these nurses that have worked here for 10 years." One of my professors made that comment after one of my medical-surgical hospital rotations in nursing school.

I've had various nice things said to me by my boss and/or other nurses about getting an IV in a people who have shot up IV drugs for years(or just have difficult venous access), putting IV's in peoples shoulders and chest walls FTW!!!

It happened yesterday, actually. My Latin American Archaeology class (which is a great class, because I love archaeology, but I suck at Latin American culture...I'm more of an Ancient Near East/Classical, but anyways). I finished the final and picked up my paper (A paper on The Pleistocene Migration to the New World after the last Ice Age), and he said that it was a really good paper for a freshman (it was a 300 level cource). He also asked if I was going to be there next year, I said yes, and he said to keep on going and that I had potential. Also said he'd call me up over the summer to do a dig with him if it came up...!!!

Are you a history major? I'm a comp sci major, but anything I need to feel my schedule with will be history. That would be cool to go on a dig.

Double major: Ancient/Near East & Classical History and Archaeological Anthropology with a minor in Linguistics

I'm going to field school next week (Leave the 8th and get back June 6th), and we're doing a dig on Sapelo Island, GA...Should be lots of fun...

My 1st grade teacher said to me, "you are not a retard, you are just mentally challenged."

My econ professor said he would use my final paper as an example to other students on how to write a good final paper...I thought that was pretty cool.

In high school, I had this really hot teacher English teacher. She was really impressed with a paper that I turned in using the stream-of-consciousness style. She said if I were 18 years old, then she would let me do the things that I described to her. Picture of my teacher

...

Seriously, my computer programming teacher in high school picked me to receive a Tandy Scholar award because I was already learning to use functions even though we were still a few weeks away from learning it. That was the best compliment in high school.

I wrote a 15 pg. polysci paper my Freshman year in what had to be hardest class ever, but since it was one of my first college classes I buckled down and tried really hard (took me about 2 weeks to do this paper, working on it every day with multiple sources of research, etc.). It was a class of about 125 and the last day of class we got our papers back, everyone was moaning and groaning of how horrible the professor graded it and how low their score was, etc. On the last page of my paper he wrote "see me after," so I went down and talked to the professor afterward and he asked if he could use the information and the argument I made on my paper in a book he was writing. Sure enough, he shoots me an email and a copy of the book the following year (for those who want to read a long boring book analyzing government policies, the book is "Success and failure in public governance : a comparative analysis.")

I got a 100% on the paper and an A+ in the class, despite my 70%'s on the midterm and final.

Oh and I switched to Information Science my next year (but don't tell the prof that ).

The best comments are from dying patients (and their families). It's a wonderful feeling knowing you really have made a difference.

Who cares what the boss thinks. I'm a federal employee and a nurse to boot, you can't get more job stability than that.

To my mother in 5th grade: Nobody knows this but your son is special, and there are special classes for special students..
