Well, no. I refuse to be that, and I’m working feverishly on the side to escape that label.Â
I had some great ideas for posts for yesterday, but I worked until late on Friday night and practically all day yesterday (except for the few hours I was able to escape away for my daughter’s first birthday party) in preparation for a trial that begins tomorrow.Â
(I, of course, will not be the attorney in the courtroom. Since I’m pretty low on the totem pole, I do all the work behind the scenes, and the bosses use my work and research to look brilliant.)
So it’s about noon right now, and I’m here in my office at work. The events that transpired over the past couple of days that led to me working all weekend will become a series of posts on their own. There is just too much material there for me to bypass.
I have the Flimjo Recap for today about half done. I will try to post it later. Until then, I’ll try my best to look like a hard working man but work diligently behind the scenes to escape that black hole.

2At one point I used to be content being the “guy behind the scenes” - but slowly got sick of it. If the work was good (and it always it), never heard a “thank you” - if something wasn’t quite right - I heard about it.
That’s when I decided that I was not content sitting behind the scenes, and worked my a$$ off.

3Mo, thanks for the comment, and I agree that that kind of dynamic grows old real quick.

4well.. no it is certainly not good to be content behind the scenes, while someone takes all your credit …

5Hey Coral Snake, thanks for the comment. No, it’s not the best to be the brains behind the operation while someone else basks in the glory.
