why is it that people don't tell you when you have done something good but only when you have screwed up on something? i worked for 2 days on a test report that i needed to do for work. this is a new procedure that we have. so i wasn't sure if i was following the procedure correctly. after i completed it, i gave a copy to my boss's boss since he was the one asking for it. i asked for his input to see if that was what he wanted. later, our secretary came up to me to ask if he had stopped by to tell me what he thought of my report. i told her no. she then told me that he was going on and on to her about how well i did. and how thorough he thought it was. i thought maybe he just hadn't gotten around to saying anything to me. but later, he came up to me and asked that i send an electronic copy of my report to himself and our secretary. that was it. why couldn't he just take the second to tell me what he told our secretary? is that too much to ask? of course if the tables were turned and i did something wrong.....they don't hesitate to make a scene about it.

another time, a friend of mine at work overheard my boss and his boss talking about how they were glad that they put me on a program since i was doing a good job. the only way that i heard about this was because my friend thought i would want to know.

on a really good note.....my best friend from high school is being induced to have their 3rd child this morning. i'm just waiting to hear if i have a new niece or a new nephew. they already have 2 daughters so maybe it will be a boy this time!! *crossing fingers that everything goes fine*

i had my bday dance last night. it was fun. i haven't had one in a couple of years so it was fun. julie was there and took pictures. now i just need to finish the roll so that i can see them. that would be the bad part about not having a digital camera. oh well....one of these days i will break down and get one. just not yet.
