Saturday, Jun 27 2009 - Guilt
View LOVE2RUN's food & exercise for this day
I'm feeling guilty. All that bad mouthing my job? All that slacking for 2+ weeks? Welllll....
My manager calls me into his Condo (that's slang for a fancy cube for big shots) and tells me he really appreciates the hard work, dedication and efficiency I put into my job. He's selected me for a monetary award for achievement in the workplace.
Guilt. It's a beautiful thing isn't it? When used correctly, you can achieve amazing results with guilt. I do believe I did a whole months worth of work in less than four hours that day.
Guess I'll earn my keep after all. Thanks boss.
p.s. I'm still going back to school and working towards finding a more fulfilling job experience, I'll just make sure to keep working towards a job well done while I'm employed with the job I have now.

Hi Susan! That's awesome your manager showed appreciation for your efforts. You're already a 'writer' and I love reading your blog... follow your dreams! You go Girl! Hey, thanks for the tip on the Body Bugg-- OMG! I have had this for 48 hours and I'm so hooked. I've been religiously logging my calories 'in' on this CK site and now the BB has me so motivated with being able to see real calories 'out'. I don't like the BB food log as much so I've been entering each meal as a custom food titled "062609 Breakfast" etc.; I had a lunch date with a girlfriend yesterday and I actually decided to walk to the restaurant from my home (and did it!) because I wanted the BB log to include more calories 'out'. I'm down 7.7 lbs in 10 days and don't feel so overwhelmed. If it wasn't for you and all the CK bloggers I would still be feeling so alone with this journey. Thank you so much!

That's all you can do - and as a former employer, you know thatthe job the workers do aren't all that satisfying, so any commendation is necessary to keey the worker bees interested. But the work HAS to be done. Kel
