Boss Hugs Employee - Is this a Free Hugs thing?

Now that's something you don't here everyday. But yes, my boss hugged me. Was it a Free Hugs type of thing? Well yeah, you see, I've just completed the initial and unofficial launch of the company's new website, Winning-Lottery.com and not only have we just launched it (unofficially) but we got our 1st order - a small one, but an order nevertheless, and all from an organic search result after Google indexed over 296 pages in days.

As he approached me this morning, I held up the piece of paper being the printout of the customers order and confirmation of payment. We made our 1st sale, I said. His face completely lit up, he shook my hand vigourisly and then said, Oh I'll hug you for that.

...or something like that. It all became a sureal blur, and right in front of the operations room. But it wasn't over. Oh no, we've got to announce this over the PA he said as a glaze came across his eyes. Was he high? On pure adrenalin, Yes, he was euphoric. This is a mature man with a staff of almost 400 employees, a diverse portfolio of businesses and a huge passion for his business. It was nice to see but me - I like to work in the shadows - here I was being publicly spotlighted.

So there we are at the reception. How do I turn the PA on, he asked the receptionist.
The receptionist pointed.. that button there. Now here this, now here this.. came a booming voice over the PA in the whole corporate complex... and he went on... it ended with 3 cheers for me and that was that.

Have you ever been hugged by your boss? I'd like to hear your stories. That was my 1st time, but hey, the current Free Hugs movement started from 1 person in Sydney Australia. There's always more room for some extra love in this world, right?

Share the love and peace to all. It will certainly be a moment to remember for me.
