13: Doing it this way because you can only answer fan mail privately
13. That depends on how this is intended. Is this what I want if someone were shopping for me or a more serious desire? Right now, what I really want that I’m not getting is recognition at work for the fact that I’m functioning well above the level of my job title. Some people realize it. Some people don’t. It weighs on me, because the right people don’t realize it, so I’m left either being ignored or trying to sell myself, which I’ve never been comfortable with. It’s not like my salary is bad (though who wouldn’t like more money); I just want appropriate acknowledgement.
Well, that certainly went in a different direction than I was expecting when I started.
