I am that good!

It’s nice to be appreciated. I haven’t posted much about my job because a lot of what I’m working on isn’t public yet. I have had one project that’s been causing me a lot of stress and frustration. Well today I had a one-on-one meeting to go over the company bonus for 2006. It was a good meeting. Very good.

I was awarded 100% of the amount my manager could assign. As a company we made part of our goals so the end result was 80% of the bonus amount. Not a bad amount of cash that could only have been made better if I had been with the company the whole year.

For me the best part was some of the comments in the paperwork. A sample is:

Because of his excellent process and documentation contributions I have given Brendan the full 15% for this component.

I am very pleased that Brendan has joined our team.

Brendan consistently demonstrates clear thinking and an attention to detail that result in quality solutions.

It’s nice to be noticed and appreciated. So much better than those schmucks at McAfee.
