[nagdu] update on my work question

Julie,

Good on you, and congratulations!  I am so glad some of that stress is gone!  now you don't have to worry, second-guess about whether you should bring up Jetta, etc.

I'm so glad you work in such a supportive work environment.

Supported workers unite! *points to herself*

Daryl

Subject: [nagdu] update on my work question

Today I an impromptu evaluation at work.  They are changing the way we do everything and no one knows what's going on.  anyway it went really, really, really well! I am getting a raise, a promotion, a hand held magnifyer and Miss Jetta is no problem.  I even mentioned that Jetta is a Doberman.  My supervisor mentioned that she'd really like a Doberman, because it would make her feel safer.  Her first reaction was concern for Monty.  I just explained that he's getting older, but he's doing fine.  I also explained about switching the two dogs back and forth to keep both active without stressing either too much.  I really hadn't intended to bring it up, but it was a perfect moment.  I don't think it would have been a problem to not bring it up, but this way feels polite to me.



The promotion won't be for a while yet.  We are revamping the program to be bigger and more inclusive.  it will mean more variety in working situations for Jetta.  I think it might have been too much for Monty to deal with.  I'm glad I timed the new dog entry as well as I did...okay so it is completely coincidence, but I am relieved at how well it's going to turn out.  

And I'm very glad I will have a dog like Jetta in this sort of environment.  I don't think people will bother her because of her breed.  That will be a big advantage.
