#192 Friday SalutaShawn

Dear Office Gods,

Thank you so much for today. It was just as amazingly awesome as yesterday. And, when you consider that today was Friday, well... you've outdone yourselves. 

Keep up the great work!

Sincerely, 

Your fan,

Shawn 

#191 An Ode to Work Day PerfecShawn

Today was an awesome day!

No idiot boss.

No coughing old bird.

Today was a very quiet day.

No ridiculous questions.

No easily avoided mistakes.

Today was a distraction free day.

No interruptions.

No last minutes requests or demands.

Today was a smooth calm day.

No "Can you come to my office?"

No "How do you copy/paste again?"

Today was a question free day.

Today there was no fuss.

Today there was no muss.

Today was an awesome day.

Tomorrow is Friday...

#045 Love RevelaShawns

Love means never having to say you're sorry...

...for making mistakes.

...forgetting things.

...saying stupid things without thinking.

...for farting in bed.

...for not always saying 'I love you'.

...for forgetting to call when you're going to be late.

...for not being the perfect mate all the time.

Love means...

...being with the Man that makes you smile, feel safe, happy and needed.

...sharing your home with the two most special and adorable dogs in the world.

... it's sharing the same dreams, from the small to the grandiose.

...not being able to imagine a day without Him.

I have Love and I have it with Marcel. 

#036 EvaluaShawn

Today was a good day.

 

I had my annual evaluation with my direct Manager and his Manager. It was scheduled to go an hour, but we barely made it to 40 mins. And why? Because apparently I'm awesome! :-)

 

Okay, I'm not perfect, but I met or surpassed expectations in all categories but one and quite frankly it's because what was assigned was not possible, and he know it. :-)

 

I was told I'm too hard on myself and too much of a perfectionist. - I have to disagree...  you can never be too much of a perfectionist.

 

Given the recent changes in the office it's nice to hear such praise and on the record no less. I'm not so naïve as to think that I'm irreplaceable, or that I or the entire office won't be without a job in the days to come but why dwell on that? I'm freaking amazing!

 

And also, no word from Management if there will be raises or  bonuses, but I feel after today I'll think I'm going to be an optimist on the subject.

 

In the meantime I must continue to perfect my perfection.
