Telling me what I CAN'T do, that does. I guess I get a kick out of proving people wrong.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264060298236728344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-74899471559853952352012-01-30T14:11:06.074-05:002012-01-30T14:11:06.074-05:00Hi, girls.

My boss never gives praise-...I am so that person! <br /><br />My boss never gives praise--and I'm always seeking it. Once she said, "You always point out what you do." Well, duh? I want to make sure you noticed. A simple, "nice endstand" is all I'm asking. LOL. However, she has no problem with the negative. Infuriating. And the thing is, on a personal level, I really, really like this person. On a professional level, she drives me freaking nuts.<br /><br />And as for the writing me--I save the notes of praise and celebration to reread when I'm down. They really are uplifting--like a booster shot of self-confidence.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-31824951192204029552012-01-30T08:54:36.067-05:002012-01-30T08:54:36.067-05:00I'm like you, Liz, praise does it for me. I lo...I'm like you, Liz, praise does it for me. I love it when people think I'm good and that motivates me to try to be better. But, motivation has been hard to come by here at my house--I just want to curl up on the couch with my Kindle and read for pleasure. Maybe a cup of tea and a fire--I'm thinking I just need to do that for a day and get it out of my system! But not today--I've got an editing gig to finish, critiques to do, and I want to finish another chapter on novel 4. ;)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809913527142033733noreply@blogger.com
