I was approached by my manager last week who took me aside, into an unused office, saying with a grim expression, "We need to have a chat." So I was wondering what I might have done wrong, where I screwed up, what I should have done but didn't... but it turns out that I did better than I thought!

It seems that the work I've done on the client implementation recently, that I went to Christchurch for, has been noticed as being great work by executive management. As a result, they've requested my involvement on the client implementation for yet another new, MAJOR client, involving lots and lots of users. It'll involve me for some months, rather than some days, and will take a lot of my time.

This is good news indeed! My efforts are being recognised, and I'm being rewarded with more responsibilities, as well as being noticed by people I've never interacted with.

Oh, and my request for a new, work PDA a couple weeks ago was approved. I think it's going to include a cellphone in the PDA. More details coming...
