To be noticed or not to be noticed?

I guess it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I'm more task oriented I think and great at working on my own, which usually means one isn't in a position to get noticed. I don't look for the pat on the back. I care more about just getting the project done and moving on to the next one. That's not to say I can't take a compliment, but I think it means more to me when it comes from a personal nature than a goal oriented one. My husband telling me he thought something I did was wonderful or my kids thinking what I did was cool would have more meaning to me than a boss or co-worker. Hope that made sense..I'm feeling a little tongue-tied for some reason.

hi sarahruthbeth22 I hate being singled out I just wanted to do my work the best I could, and go home feeling I did a good job of work that day.The important thing was always that the books were put back on the shelves, the other media where it belonged and everything neat and tidy. people do not realize how much work goes on getting the books shelved and all the other media.

I believe in getting credit where credit is due, not doing a job just for the sake of getting noticed. "Getting credit" can mean as little as being paid what the job is worth. As long as the terms of the job are fair, that is all that matters to me. I am not interested in prestiege or status.

Well that has been one of the tough things about getting my books going.....it's because I really don't like being noticed...but without doing that I can't sell my books....I hate interviews and being in the paper.....but sometimes I just have to do it to get sales.....oh well!

I hate any sort of attention even if others think I have deserved it for some reason or another. I've always been on of those people who likes to stay below the radar, just doing what I need to do without any attention. There are plenty of others who like to blow their own horn and enjoy all the attention even when it's not always warranted.

i don't know. i don't have a job. i guess we all want a little bit of attention. maybe not from some people. i guess getting the job done is good. i bet for some people whatever happens is in their philosophy. like if they're noticed maybe they'll have fun with it. and if they're not they can refocus again. i guess these types of people get the best of both worlds! the most important jobs i have is cooking, and also losing weight. also being philisophic so i can determine what happened at some points in my life, but this is a side thing... haha. i guess if i were to be under the supervision of mental hospital practitioners and they were to make me do chores, i probably wouldn't do it very seriously. i really don't care to respect them except as humans. but the downfall, some are nice and you do respect them, yet you still need to respect yourself, and not get caught in over niceness.
