ok, all you ladies out there...what's up with this: how can we feel like we have to work so much harder sometimes to convince people that we are good at what we do...while at the same time when our work is recognized we feel that the only reason is because someone has ulterior motives? you know what i am saying? i mean take the situation tonight at the party...now i am wondering if my work a few years back was actually good or not. and we've had this discussion before where you find out that the person on the other side of the compliment may not have been 100% referring to your work...kind of cheapens the accomplishment, doesn't it? especially when it's coming from a so-called higher up...
