Blech...

I hate being sick. Came down with the flu yesterday, and had to stay home. Jenn arrived last night, so I had the fun experience of driving an hour each way to pick her up while sick. I'm at work today, but not really feeling 100

But the big question is, do you LIKE the new guy, and will future brown-nosing be easier or harder?

Bugzilla is getting evaluated here too, as is some product called Sesame. I'd be pushing Bugzilla, but one of the QA people is almost as lame as my idiot co-worker and she is deeply suspicious of anything I do, so I stay away to give it a chance.

Good luck getting well in time to make J's trip worthwhile.

The new guy is cool, and really bright, but I had built a relationship with the old guy. We clicked. This new guy is WAY too busy to be able to spend any professional "quality time" with him. :)

being pushy

I always have to restrain myself from being too pushy when in a new reporting situation. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It was a real effort to keep quiet my first couple weeks here. After that, I gave up. --mjg

Re: being pushy

I have the opposite problem. In a new situation (and a lot of the time in an old situation as well), I find myself staying back and taking everything in rather than contributing. I'm putting a real effort into putting my ideas forth in a constructive, "I know I'm new but...." kinda way to gain attention without offending anyone. :)
