Wow. We just had our monthly all-hands IT meeting, and I got two shout-outs, one for handling the consulting visit last month well, and another for one of the projects that's been giving the most grief and I've been feeling highly useless on.
I'm pretty verklempt. Also, I won two movie tickets--they put the shout-out winners into a raffle, and I was one of four who got swag. Not including the swag I got for contributing to the meeting discussion. I also now have a cute rainbow set of mini-highlighters.
I...I really needed that. Not the highlighters so much as the validation, but the highlighters are cool too.
Management was deliberate to point out, also, that we have continual casual (well, except for the two visits next week that mean suit and tie equivalents) because we asked for it. And they're listening.
Huh. Weird.
I want to run away to somewhere warm, with a beach.
Or at least go get something new and exciting for lunch.
I won't do either, but I want to.
Yay ita! Again, I say my dream tech industry job includes you as my PM.
So I was a complete moron over the weekend, and had sushi with soy sauce and tempura, both of which have gluten. I figured the tiny amounts would be fine. Ha, not when combined with several meals that had gluten-hiding Worcestershire sauce in them. My neck broke out in welts last night, and it's still red and irritated today.
Oh yuck, Jilli. Hope the irritation calms down soon.
Validation is awesome, ita !. And free movie tix are the sprinkles on top.
Thanks!
Free movie tickets make me feel better about skipping the
Act of Valor
I had a free pass to for yesterday. But middle of the week, in Burbank, possible overbooking--I just didn't have the energy.

You know I'd love to work with you!
My neck broke out in welts last night, and it's still red and irritated today.
Man, there's nothing like immediate feedback. Nothing *awful* like immediate feedback, I mean. Sorry to hear it.
ita ! that is AWESOME. Go, you!
I just had something similar happen, and I've been sobbing about it for the last 15 minutes. Still crying; I posted about it in Bitches, but I'm still too much of a mess to x-post.
Ridic. Happy crying, but I am bawling like a baby. I can barely type.
ETA: Not making it mememe, sorry. Just...sometimes you don't even KNOW you need validation, it happens and total messy ridonk trigger. My cats think there's something wrong.
