Donuts

It really bothers me when someone gets kudos for something they didn't do. Credit is taken away from the responsible party, their hard work and time. I hate it. I know, hate is a strong word. But...I hate it. Why can't I open my mouth and say something? Why did I say... "Oh no...I understand. Your the boss." How stupid. He even asked me what I thought. I said I didn't want to be greedy, but that the decision was up to him as to what he thought he should do. I deserved every bit of the recognition that came down. I worked my ass off, by myself I might add. Literally.

I feel like I don't have much right to complain. It is my own fault that I do not stand up for myself. I walk away, avoid conflict (where work is concerned) and just let it roll off my back. Sorta. It has happened to me in each of my jobs. I am asked for input, a great idea comes forth, but you would never know it came from me. Was I thought of to be mentioned as having the idea in the first place? No. I can't tell you how many times that has happened. Fine...I think to myself. I know that it was my idea and some gratification does come from that. Even if it is only within myself. So I let it go. Just like today. I let it go and now I am kicking myself in the ass because Noggin' got credit and reward for something she had nothing to do with. She sat in her chair and occupied air for...oh what? 10 days between the months of January through March...and apparently that was enough to warrant it. It sucks. I hate it. And it is my own damn fault.
