Conversation with coworker at a staff function...

girl: ...we can't wait to see what you can do!
Me: Great! I can't wait to get stuck in, but you know, those exports you wanted from it, that doesn't have to wait. If you need that straight away, come to my desk and I'll make some queries for you and pull out the data you want...

Girl: o_0
Girl: ... Omg, you can do that?! You're awesome!!

Me later: o_0 - the Dev before me could never at least do that?!

    Am going to be responsible for building a new integration platform from scratch, which will be fun! But yes, I'm going to savour this moment.. hahah

    Slowly you might find yourself “pulling more queries” and girls staying longer around office pantry. Then one day you suddenly realised why the last dev guy quit. Just saying~ 😉

    On a previous job, they asked me to change a picture. 5 min later I've done it. Rhey used to work with an external "agency" that would use a day for it and bill them for 4h of work.

    Damn I should start an agency!

    You just painted a big ass target on your back.

    Part of our work is setting expectations. Now this person thinks you will have time to do shit like this, all the time.

    Hmmm.. perhaps, but I said this particular task explicitly was an easy thing to do.

    They have said a few times they understand the magnitude of what's coming in my plate very soon, so I'm sure they'll give enough room for that 😉
