I can be quite the oddball, colourful to put it mildly - in both "good" and "less then stellar" ways. But I never really knew how people I work with perceive me, beyond the coworkers I was really close with. I figured they mostly saw me as some sort of weirdo that they tolerate at best. Then one day, I left a job and went back to the same company a few weeks later. On day 1 of my come back, within the first 5 minutes of doing a mock welcome - I already knew everyone in this new team, another lad came behind me and lifted me up, in a celebratory fashion. It was really unexpected but it's one of my fondest memory. This took place in small satellite office with an overall great vibe, so YMMV. But all in all, I don't think there's anything wrong with being recognized for the morale boost you might provide to your surroundings.
