standing out at work

Ok,

so ‘standing out’ at work, that is, making sure your bosses know how good of a job you do is both good and bad

Good:

better reviews
respect
better assignments

Bad:

“Leave me the hell alone with the dumb drive-bys!”
“stop IMimg me constantly I’m trying to work!”
“Yes, I usually can write nice replies with mutliple options, evidence, and reason, but I DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING nor can I produce it IN TEN MINUTES!”

heh.

answers

some people have answered my poll! yay Here’s one answer:

britefox: In theory and desire, absolutely. In practice, not yet but soon! ( now I’ll bet all you are wondering what she asked!)

Polls

So I’ve not done a poll before, but this may be fun (and I’m feeling a bit egocentric, heh)

Is there anything you wanted to tell or ask me, but not wanted anyone else but me to see? I’ll keep these answers as discrete as the posters want:

Business Trip

Hey, DC area peoples!

I will be in Arlington VA, from Thu night, 13 Mar – Tuesday afternoon, 18 Mar.

I’ll be feverishly working, but I could be able to hook up for lunches, etc. I’ll have cell phone, so ask for the number and I’ll send to you.

wee.

Montag Morgen

I think that will be my drag name. “Montag Morgen.”

I stopped at Peet’s Coffe for my lovely Cap – They have the best god damned coffee, I swear. (And I do swear.)

So today actually looks quite good at the start, I must be sick or something to be cheerful on a monday morning.

Lets see – what happened this weekend?

‘s Mother was out to visit and boy was the visit fruitful – The RV that has been plaguing the front of our house with its white-trashyness is gone. GONE. Joyce sold it and it drove away Sunday afternoon! We can now get the cars in the driveway and I won’t have my car’s butt sticking out in the sidewalk. I still plan to have my butt sitcking out in the sidewalk, though.

Did some pruning of trees, and mowing of grass, and cleaning of gutters. I’m sooo domestic. Even industrial-strength cleaned the Weber with the help of and barbequed some sausages and veggies on Saturday night. Yes, BBQ on March 1st. Delightful.

Oh! we also purchased some knock-off Metro Shelving at Costco. Joyce and cleared and cleaned the Garage as well. Clean, Clear!

So it’s a big bright beautiful Monday. It cannot last long. 😉

Hee hee

seeing some pitiful attempts at humour this morning on some LJs, I thought I’d add a bit of trite clever-clever humour that I’m sure only and I will enjoy:

“allow” is a word only (ab)used by parents, pet owners, and government officials.
