things I like about my job, part 886 in a series

asserting myself to the president of the company in a way that might have been interpreted by less-wise persons as "snippy" or "cranky" and getting a compromise satisfactory to both of us
borrowing the CEO's car (a sweet infiniti G35) to go buy scandinavian food for a Celebrate Diversity Month potluck
oohing and ahhing with my Filipino co-worker over aforementioned scandinavian food (mmm...cured lamb gristle!)
RE-borrowing the CEO's sweet car to go put gas in my wife's stalled vehicle
coming back to the office and chatting about gjetost with several people
getting the proofs back on a content-revision project in a timely fashion
settling into the afternoon routine confident that people like me, but also like my work
no blinking light on my voice mail

it's the little things I guess

I would not call the lack of a blinking light a "little thing."

I should clarify-- I mean the light is not blinking so i have no messages to deal with. That's a nice little thing. If the light was not working, that'd be kind of a big thing. Oh no. OCD! What if the light is burnt out? Must resist picking up to check vmail...
