On Being the [Boss’] Pet

March 8, 2006 by

I lifted my head up above the radar.
Big Mistake…
Huge…
There are some perks in being recognized for your skills in a large work place. Being the ‘IT’ girl is good for the ego, for the self confidence. The bit I laugh about behind closed doors is that when all is said and done all I did was Google stuff, find answers, implement them, and make them work.
Gah.
The outworking of that is that now, the CEO goes direct to me, completely bypassing my boss. Bugger, there goes my buffer.
While the upside is that when a project works I get all the kudos, the down is that when the successful project sparks a whole lot of new ideas I get all the responsibility for, and the politically complicated task of, putting the brakes on the Next [Bloody] Big Thing…
Sheesh…

    Thanks, I’m liking how we’ve arranged yours actually so I’m going to move some of them around… and maybe get rid of some altogether!!!

    Ah Stella, I can see we need to have a little chat about the realities of working for a church…
    [note to self: check word ‘payrise’ in dictionary for actual meaning]

    It’s good to be visible at any rate, and hopefully appreciated.

    Jay, it is definitely appreciated and the truth is I’m secretly happy about it, though it does cause much rolling of eyes and ‘gentle’ ribbing from my boys (I’m the only girl in our dept)…
    Greavsie, aaaaaargh…

    I now have a vision of you scrunched down behind an open laptop (you have obviously shrunk a tad) with a little sign stuck to the screen that says ‘she’s not here!’

    Gee thanks Lis… can always rely on you to jerk me out of my pity party!!! I have no recourse… you guys win the P factor party every time…

    Ian, I like the idea… note to self get the boss to give me a key to the computer room… *grin*

    I did one thing for the Call Centre and it’s snowballed since…can we do this? that? the other?

    I’m happy to help, but sometimes I run and hide in the computer room. ;-)
