Reason to celebrate

Let me premis this with a little story.  When I went to take a close look at the yacht I ended up buying, I went with my dad.  We both agreed it was a nice yacht, so I decided to leave a deposit on it and go through the hoops to buy it.  While I was writing the check, I noted that the day was September 17th, which is exactly six months after my birthday.  I mentioned this out loud by saying: "It's my half-birthday!!"  The yacht broker asked for me to clarify, I did, and my father remarked:  "He'll take any excuse to celebrate."  Damn right I will.  More people should be like that.

Anyway, I work for a consulting company.  We bid for and either win or lose some pretty big contracts.  When there is a technical part of the contract, my resume is included in the proposal to show we are more than capable of accomplishing that part of the contract.  To make a long story short:

We won a 42 million dollar contract with the United States Environmental Protection Agency.  Information Technology is a MAJOR part of the contract, I was mentioned as the person to implement it, I will be implementing it.
