I feel vindicated, although the truth of the matter is that a Little Debbie's cupcake with a "Nice job," would have sufficed.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-11139940418712158292013-01-07T21:50:58.690-08:002013-01-07T21:50:58.690-08:00Sending well deserved praise your way!

Given how far ahead you are and the obstacles you have overcome, I think that even saying "well done" isn't enough! :) I'm too tired at this point in the evening to string words into coherent sentences, though....so, great job, Alexis! :)tina.arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937044493177403559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-22457919704696328782013-01-06T22:34:21.700-08:002013-01-06T22:34:21.700-08:00Knotty, my anonymous friend is almost certainly on...Knotty, my anonymous friend is almost certainly one of several humanity-challenged (but liberally LDS-infused) cousins on my dad's side.

It's difficult for me to explain, but I don't work hard necessarily for recognition, but it bothers me to see someone else receive recognition or accolades who is less deserving than I. If that makes me immature, I'm immature.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-26040709988570144922013-01-04T13:54:16.426-08:002013-01-04T13:54:16.426-08:00Congratulations on your success!

Working, for example, you're expected to do your best because that is why they are paying you. You hopefully will get an annual review, where they tell you the areas they want you to do better in and oh here's an itty bitty 2% raise. If you're lucky.<br /><br />It can be hard, which is why a lot of people do things outside of work, with family/friends/community to make ourselves feel better. Maybe just do a good job for yourself, no matter what your parents/family say or don't say. It's your college education and future employment and life enjoyment on the line.<br /><br />Good job, keep doing it. <br /><br />:DFaery Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449195963458261640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-17833884037196049452013-01-03T17:13:38.778-08:002013-01-03T17:13:38.778-08:00You wanted to be an adult.
