Pick-me-uppers:
- Smiles and sincere thank yous from clients
- Some generous ones give us food
- Free passes to exhibits
- Bonuses, increases, profit sharing
- Medical benefits
- Christmas is a fun time when clients give gifts
- I hope they like our giveaways, too
Low-downs:
- Obnoxious clients and us becoming an extension of their offices
- Incompetent units
- Stinging eyes from looking at the monitor whole day
- Sore back and big hips from mostly sitting
The ups outweigh the downs and I'm still content with my job. I'm looking forward to the merit increase (and in my salary since I was promoted) although it's not very much.
congratulations on the promotions cee!!!
ReplyDeletei can feel your list, very much!!! my banking job is the longest i've kept too, 5 years at that. it was a trial by fire, and i'm happy to have come out a better person. the demands of the job can either bring out the worst or the best in you, and i'm glad i made the choice of picking up only what was good and best for me. :)
thanks ms firefly!
ReplyDeletegood for you that your job had positive effects on your being!
