well maybe I will just toot my own horn a little ..

PLEASE take this in the manner in which it is meant.
I am not known to be egotistical, arrogant, or even over
confident. But, as a manner of venting some frustrations ....
I do hope you will understand where I am coming from.
(and maybe even identify with it).
OBVIOUSLY, I have just returned to work after a month
off (ahhh). And using the word w-o-r-k was totally
appropriate. Partly because, I go to the office to do my
job & it is work. BUT ALSO partly because while I was
away-some of my job was not done as well as I do it-
by those who covered for me. And trust me, it's not
because they were not qualified!! Knowing the game
plan, I wasn't shocked (or even surprised) but I still
find it unfortunate that people are not considerate
(or ethical) enough to do a job right when they have
the ability to do so. I have NEVER been a lazy worker.
I have always given more than what I thought was
probably expected of me and I am pretty sure that
whenever I have covered someone else's responsibilities ....
I have done so competantly & respectfully. So my venting
here is because it is such a pain in the butt when
someone is doing your job who doesn't really do it.
When it's obvious that there was plenty of time- but
not adequate effort. ALL THIS BEING SAID .... I am over
it (mostly) .... until the next shoe drops. AND LET ME
ADD here for those who covered a different part of my
job and did a groovey job of it ....... don't put this shoe on,
since it will NOT fit.
