Stealing *my* good work
Top dog forwarded this email to me last night: Subject: Your fancy SharePoint site Top Dog's reply: Sure. I wish I knew a way to write out that sound effect you hear when a record scratches as it's going backward. Y'all are probably thinking, "What the heck is she talking about?" You'll have to trust me on this. It's the perfect sound effect for this occasion. Let's analyze the email message, shall we? "Your awesome SharePoint site": Why yes it is. I, RisibleGirl, came up with the concept and design and calculations running that mean machine. "your good work": Who is "Your"? I understand the meaning behind the sentence. The guy meant "Your" in the sense of "your team" (aka RisibleGirl). "Rip off": No way bub. That's where I draw the line. I'm all about sharing, but I really hate the term "Rip off your good work". I honestly do not think anyone could replicate what I've done. I'm not sure I could replicate it some days.... Even the most seasoned SharePoint help desk people are amazed at the tool I've built. This is where I get my "well done's"; when people look at something that appears to be easy- but when they dig around, they find that it's horribly complicated. That's when people understand all the work I do. /kvetching By the way, I saw this Dilbert cartoon this morning and it reminded me of our relationship (me, Risiblegirl- you, my friends that read this blog)  Isn't it so true? RisibleGirl was blabbing on about another adventure on 03/19 at 05:27 AM

Wow, yeah, I can totally understand you not wanting your work "ripped off"... Is there anything that you can say, or is it all Top Dog's Call? And that cartoon? Hilarious!

hmmm I don't consider myself defective, I consider myself a good friend and a good listener. Besides, I don't work outside the home, so I don't know all these intriguing things about the corporate world. They are fun to read about. *grin* I used to sit in my Daddy's shop while he worked and listen to him talk about all the "work politics" I always found them most interesting. I am interested in people. how ya doin' RG? you're pretty quiet lately. . . Happy Easter ~a  Anonymous G wrote:
I never noticed your resemblance to Dilbert before. It's UNCANNY!
