There's Always Another Side

I am listening to a Fresh Face in the department, a transfer from another realm, who is telling us about how our department is perceived by some other people in the company.

 

Yow...

 

 

I mean, we're a BIG company, but still...

 

 

For any of you who, like me, spend your days, your hours, your minutes, really working hard to make your program or project or LedZep cover band, whatever, the most bad-ass program, project or LedZep cover band EVER in the history of programs, projects or LedZep cover bands, remember...

 

 

Somebody has never heard of you.  Probably lots of somebodies.

 

 

Somebody has heard of you but really has no idea what you're all about.  Probably lots of somebodies.

 

 

Somebody has heard of you and kind of has an idea of what you do, but they only really know enough so that if someone asks them anything about you, they'll probably be mis-directed with a wrong answer.

 

 

 

It's nice to get that perspective.  It's a good thing to hear from somebody from outside of the usual somebodies.  It's good to have to justify yourself, sometimes--instead of shaking your head, saying how you can't believe people think such things or don't know how bad-ass your program, project, or LedZep cover band is, to be presented with yet another opportunity to prove how awesome you are.  Wakey-Wakey...
