I get paid to be a critical thinker, but don't always have these traits at work. Gotta work on them.

I think I need to work on
"The ability to say "no, I will not be in the office today" when feeling ill"
Though I feel great today. I slept last night. I'm doing a happy dance.
That's nice, but are you in a work environment that promotes this sort thinking Do you have a boss that helps keep your confidence up or that rewards your behavior when you are flexible and creative?
Or are you in a work place that demands obedience without explanation?
You may have all of these abilities, but if you stay in a work place that tries to beat them out of you, it won't do much good.
Of course, this comes from a smart ass who once told his boss, "Was I hired to be your security blanket or was I hired to do the job?"
Yeah, what WNG said! (Hmmmm I find myself saying that a lot!!)
WNG- I knew there was something missing!
Susan - yay! glad you slept! Actually , for me, when I"m sick, I tend to feel like I should be at work as much as possible in the day. If I'm taking a mental health day, I stay out the entire day, no problem. Odd.
MRT. You know, I don't know anymore. I think I'm in a place that expects these things, and does encourage them, but perhaps my own issues get in the way (phases of lack of self confidence, etc.), and some issues of my boss also get in the way (like she has very specific opinions and won't just listen to my opinion). And our collisions - since we're very similar people.
TERA, yeah, what you said.
Luckily, I work for the state, so I don't have to have any of those habits.
i have all of them traits - scary huh
Ah Churlita, good enough for government work?
WNG - you rock!
Torrance - indeed scary, if you use them all the time. In awe...
Good list I need to stick it up somewhere and ignore it at work!
-OG
WNG, ditto. Saying that because I"m not sure which thing you are truing datting. Tru datting?
OG - yeah, I had it hanging up at work. I"m trying to not ignore it though.
"Was I hired to be your security blanket or was I hired to do the job?"
i'm dying to use that line!! love, love, love it. :)
