Proving People Wrong

As many of you know, I'm a huge plurk addict. When SL camp started I was presented with a challenge that my stubborn butt accepted. To not plurk for an entire week. At times it was really difficult but I was successful!!



I learned in that week that I didn't really miss it. At least I didn't miss the drama or the possibility of having theoretical salt rubbed in a wound. Plurk is something I do out of habit or when I'm procrastinating or have nothing better to do. Don't hate me my plurkies, I love you guys, I really do but sometimes I worry it's a bit of a crutch for me. I lean on it and it's become a way to share my day or random thoughts with SOMEONE and it helps me feel not so alone.

Ok I'm getting to... emotional-y here... MOVING ON:

Another great MOMENT OF WIN. Today, my head bosslady (the CEO of the company I work for) came to my desk to ask me if I had reviewed and excel spreadsheet that was supposedly emailed to me. I looked at her with a quizzical look on my face because I had NO clue what she was talking about. Being a noob in the accounting department, I've had my share of flubs and have ignored things that were actually really important. So I was scared. Very scared. If you knew the CEO you'd know why. That lady is fierce. Anyway, I told her that I don't think I was copied on the email distribution for it. She insisted I was, so I searched my Outlook. Did I find it? No I did not. My manager had it though and it was confirmed, I was never copied on it. So... HA! IN YOUR FACE!!! I proceeded to go about my day with a smug look on my face because for once, I didn't do something wrong!

So, the next time someone tells you that you can't do something just remember all it takes is some will power and dedication. You CAN DO anything you put your mind to. And the next time someone tells you that you did something when, in fact, you didn't and you have proof... keep it professional. No one likes a gloater. Even though I'm totally gloating right now.
