ironic appreciation
Given the recent news in federal circles regarding potential benefit cuts in the latest budget, as well as the whole < gestures vaguely at everything > in my particular vocation since the end of January, it’s depressingly ironic that this week is recognized as Public Service Recognition Week.
Not that I’m really looking for recognition (I’d rather just sit there being quietly competent and getting the the job done without anyone really bothering me), though it is nice to be appreciated, even symbolically. Not that I feel particularly appreciated (beyond my immediate team, anyway) right now. None of us do.
Just wanted to get that out there is all.
That said, it seems I was recognized today, by being assigned a new project that’s come down from the head office that my boss described as “HOT HOT HOT” that I’ve now got to deal with. As the proverb goes, “the reward for good work is more work,” so I guess through some twisted logic, that’s recognition.
