Becoming a star at work

[joecash]

Anyone been in a situation where their talent in some field really made them a stand-out? Was there any jealosy from othe rworkers involved? Did you ask for a raise? I'd like to hear some stories.

[joecash]

no responses?

did I break some posting rule?

I figured a couple peolpe here would have been in this situation.

I fixed an entire mailing list bug for about 3 million households by reverse-engineering some assembler and writing a c wrapper around it to account for a leap-year glitch.

sounds very boring, don't it.

yo what up joecash

I get this [censored] all the time. Don't let the haters get you down they are just little bitches that can't take the heat. DEMAND the raise and if they don't give it to you, [censored] em

(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)

There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)

She was tops in all they said
It never once went to her head
She had everything it seems
Not a care, this teenage queen (Not a care, this teenage queen)
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen you should be a movie queen)

He would marry her next spring
Saved his money, bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out (Came to town to take her out)
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door working at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen)

Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny car
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old home town (But she missed her old home town)
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen)

Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train (Left it all and caught a train)
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store

(Now this story has some more, you'll hear it all at the candy store)

I've been accused of being a kiss-ass by a couple co-workers for doing my job.

Of course, they're level 2 or 3 and I'm level 4 - which means I get additional responsibilities that may preclude my sleeping at the [censored] desk all night - I'm praying for a bonus as well, and I'm eligible for it and they're not - and I've met all my goals for the year and they're still struggling to get certified.

I say [censored] it - let them piss and moan about me wanting to do my job - on my job, I'm the rock star that everyone comes to when they're stuck - I say [censored] anyone that doesn't like it.
