So You all know that I am a tad on the workaholic side, tho I'm not as bad as some others that we know, I do have my moments.
You have all noticed that I am if not a little and VERY different person at work.
BECAUSE IT IS WORK - that is a seperate world for me and I go into professional mode and act how I believe business should be conducted. Having a good work ethic and reputation is someting that I take pride in and find important. It's partly how I was raised and partly a result of what I had to overcome.
I take my work seriously bc it is my WORK. and I have a strong work ethic and I that you shoudl take your work seriously and take pride in it and doing my job well is something that has always been important to me. Some people think that I may take this job a bit too seriously but I just do what I think is important and I try and make sure that things are the best that they can be. I am always professoinal and reasonable and pretty damned flexible about things.
I do not expect very much of anyone.
I think that I should be kept informed at all times by BOTH my superiors and subordinants. I expect that everyone follow the rules and enforce them at all times. I expect to be treated with respect and consideration that I treat everyone else with. I don't think any of those are outrageous.
There are going to be some changes to the lab that I wasn't really consulted on in the first place and if I wasn't a bit nosy/'too serious'/care alot about my job prolly woudln't have found out about when I did. Now, I have no real problems with these changes but you would think that since I have been so involved with the labs for so long AND and currently responsible for them that I would be an integral part of this process change and I was told that I woudl be. But I found out today that ppl were making meetings with my employees that I had no knowledge of and was not consulted about. -- I don't care WHO you said that questions should be directed towards *I* as the COORDINATOR of the LABS shoudl know before any of them do -- if not it makes me look and feel foolish- ESPECIALLY when my job and work performance is important to me.
Now granted that this is mostly a big accident and this person was under the impress that *OUR* superiour was going to speak with me -- I still think that the professoinal and courteous thing to do woudl have been for HER to ask ME how the lab assistants should be told or how I do things with them to keep imformation consistant. It's actually not a huge deal but it really upsets me that I was not included or even INFORMED.
I understand better than anyone that schedules are hectic and you can be forgetful but with something this huge you need to make sure that the ppl who need to be are informed and I think that I really shoudl have been included - if they think otherwise or don't want me involved then that is fine but I shoudl at hte very very least be informed before anyone else.
