Tim Cox is AWESOME: My story of Uber Awesomness!

I have been known to be a... squeeky wheel?... when it comes to balance and I still have issues in that area. But this post is not about that.

I want to relate a personal experience with one of the employees at Uber, that just happened.

Today was just like any other day. I dragged myself out of bed, went to work, dealt with various stupid people throughout the day, drove home to a list of errands that needed to be done, wept a bit about my account balance in relation to my bills and finally settled in to check the forums and play a little PA before I have to go to bed and do it all again tomorrow.

When I logged into the Uber forums I found that I had a private message. "That's odd." I said to myself and clicked on the alert. I had not even a remote idea of the AWESOMNESS I was about to witness. There sitting in my inbox was a message from Tim. It read like this.

For your signature banner

Whaaaat?
I said calmly to myself.
Some of you may or may not have seen the Signature banner I have been using for a while now. It looked something like this.

Now, to create this banner I had to print screen the Armory screen in game and then crop, resize and roughly manipulate the images. You can see how fuzzy they are.

Now that I have the hi-res images to work with, my banner looks like you will see below in my new Awesome Tim Coxified version of my banner.

I work in customer service and often we get so mired in routine we forget how big a LITTLE extra effort can be. There was never any expectation or even a remote inkling that it would be appropriate to ask for these images. In fact it never occurred to me that I could even ask.

Thank You Tim.
You made my day and I will be gushing about this event to everyone, who will listen long enough for me to spit it out, over the next few months.

I don't think anyone's story would come close enough to this level of AWESOME you described.

This awesome level is rated 9002.

If you can beat that level, you won life.

It is definitely really cool!

I tweeted Ben Prunty and he favourited that tweet.

Egotism aside, this is awesome and the images look awesome.

And he did it because he likes you not because the low-res version made everyone want to pull their eyes out and send them back to 1983.
