WHAT WE DO

An Encounter

As I’ve mentioned here before, I frequently get around via public transportation. This past weekend was no different. Heading out to see some free, live music, my sojourn required two busses to my destination and two for the return. The ride to my destination is usually the better timed. On this return trip, however, the wait for my second bus was close to 30 minutes. The first bus of my return trip arrived at the transfer point (a major transportation hub) just late enough for me to miss my connection. It happens! I took a deep breath acknowledging the delay and patiently waited.
 
A common occurrence while waiting for a bus, someone will ask me, “is this the right spot for the bus?” Or, “Does the # 230 bus stop here?” The signage indicating which busses stop where isn’t enough of a clue where to wait, as they are often inaccurate.

If you’re lucky, or through the work review process, if any, you receive positive critical response and acceptance of your work by supervisors and managers, is a good sign you’re doing a good job. You’ve also done a good job when you’ve made others’ work easier, improved processes, testing, or work functionality, or helped the employer make lots of money. Any positive contribution you’ve made is an indicator of your having done a good job.
