It’s balanced.
No more…little song in my head.
Mr. Incredible was home tonight so I left work, picked up kids from daycare, dropped them off at home and went back to work.
It’s amazing what I can accomplish when the office is silent. This morning my to-do list was a legal pad long…. by noon I had a accomplished a great deal - but that was because I told everyone that if they wanted to get paid today, they would not bug me….and it worked, to a degree.
One of my boss’s stopped by - he saw my truck and wondered why I was there…saw my desk buried in paperwork, and said… “ahhh bookwork, looking for something?”
yes…. not looking up from my papers….
He asked if I could take a break - so I marked my spot, and looked up. He basically wanted to thank me for all that I have done lately for his company, and that he and the board appreciate it.
I know that to some that doesn’t mean much, but to hear a “thank you” and that they appreciate what I have been doing means alot to me. At least I know they don’t take me for granted - well not completely.
That was at 7:30 pm
Shortly after that I found what I was looking for, and then I was able to move forward with my work.
At 8:30 - I walked out - balanced, quarterly reports for two companies completed and year end reports almost completed for one company, can’t do anymore without bank statements.
Simply amazing what I can accomplish when I am allowed to think about what I am doing.

so you work with numbers?
Cus I hate numbers.
So if you want, I can take over the hating of your job full time and you can just think and work and maybe have a bit of watermelon when the mood hits you…

You must be exhausted!
Now, I hope you have some time for yourself and your family planned over the holiday!

Glad it all worked out!

Oh yes… which is why so many people remain at the office after 5:pm and come in on weekends.
I’m loving that he said ‘Thank You’. I think it’s uber important!

On fridays we “close” a 12 but stay until our work is done. Its wonderful to ignore the phone!
Hope you are having a good weekend!
5:23 pm
Thank you & knowing you are appreciated are so underrated - what a great thing!! I hope you were able to enjoy some of your weekend…
5:27 pm
That’s awesome recognition. I try to remember to acknowledge my team’s hard work, and I hope it makes them feel good…
6:22 pm
sometimes just a little acknowledgement goes a long way….
Its nice to hear “thank you”!
7:09 pm
I agree, sometimes hearing a thank you means a whole lot.
I am going thru some shit at my work right now…so I totally understand that..
1:53 pm
Rock on! Now could he put that in writing in your file?
8:42 pm
It IS nice to hear a thank you, I TOTALLY agree with that…
COMMA
I’d rather have a raise.
9:43 pm
Tenacious b - I got a raise - found out about it in the middle of june - it just doesn’t go into effect until July 1st - and I only get paid once a month, so…. I won’t see that benefit until the end of the month.
3:36 pm
Personally, I think a thank you and we appreicate you can go a long way.
