Not Trying to Brag...

So today while at work I was checking my school email account and noticed an email congratulating me for being a member of the Dean’s Circle at my graduate school. The email also attached a PDF copy of the school magazine I am featured in along with a few other students. I was proud of myself and chose to forward the email to My Guy, mom, and two coworkers I am cool with.

Well about 15 minutes later a mass email when out to my department ccing the CEO of the company sent from our department head with a congratulatory message. I began to cringe when I read it. I asked my co worker why did she send it and she thought our main boss should know the talent he has and to also give a few managers something concrete to hate on. While I am very proud about my accomplishments and where I am going, I am very low profile when it comes to my resume and workplace. I already have to deal with these women insecurities; I don’t feel a need to remind them why they should hate on me.

Its funny I was a little embarrassed by the email and only a few people sent me praises, but at the end of the day I ask why should I be ashamed?

You should be proud of your accomplishments; however, you do have a right to remain a little low key about it too.

love to live; live to love!

Gurrrrrl... You should be very proud of your accomplishments.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Had it been me and my ego, I would've been the one to send the email out to everyone. LOL

This was my first time visiting and I look foward to reading more of your confessions. Check me out when you can.

One of the things that we women have to get better at is "tooting our own horns"!

That's how one gets ahead...

It's not bragging, it's just letting folks know that you are on the move!
