An exceptional...secretary

It's already been that kind of week. I got my annual review yesterday and my boss gave me "exceptional" marks on all categories. That's me: Redzilla the Exceptional Secretary.

I am not currently Redzilla the Exceptional Writer, because along with my exceptional marks as a secretary, I got three (3) rejections yesterday. I'll return when I feel more like an Exceptional Blogger.

Well I think you're an exceptional woman!!! And writer...and humorist...and weirdo...and friend...

[this is good]

I agree with DKN you are an exceptional woman. Damn critics what do they know. grrrrrr. Congrats on the review. Raise please.

I've come across a number of your posts on the recent entries and such. I've liked your entries that I have read, so I added you to my neighborhood. I hope you don't mind.

As for this, you seem like an expectional woman, so why not? And you're a secretary, how do you like that so far? I'll be starting a secretary job in 2 weeks.

ugh, there is a funk going around.

you know I think you are exceptional, but I had to put it in writing with the rest!

You don't need to be Redzilla the Exceptional Something. You're just Redzilla the Exceptional, period.

I think you should adopt the title, Administrative Brigadier General.

I've seen those evaluation forms. They say "exceptional," not "exceptional [fill in position name here]," so I say you get to declare yourself exceptional in any areas of your life that you want.

Sorry about the cluster of rejection. That blows. I think that getting published, like getting a PhD, is more about endurance than talent. Here's a cheesy mnemonic, but it works for me:

SWSWSWSW

Some will
Some won't
So what?
Someone's waiting!

Someone is out there waiting to read the writing that you do, and that someone is smart and has good taste. But they can't find you except through this very inefficient system.

Oh come on, you *know* you're a rock star. Do I need to make a new set of Redzilla banners for your loyal subjects?

*pictures redzilla being exceptional every single day of the week*

You are exceptional, in general. I can personally attest that you are an exceptional writer. It's just a pain in the ass business, and one that particularly sucks because it feels like you're getting rejected on such a personal level.

Persistence pays off, and it will for you. I'm not generally willing to make definitive statements, but I'm pretty damn sure in your case.

Rejections suck for sure. Three in one day is very hurtful.
Hope you roll out of the sucky mode quickly with some tips.
Virtual drinks for you...

Exceptional in ALL CATEGORIES. I ain't never been exceptional in any category in my life, so you is doing pretty damn fine.

Don't let the rejections put you off. You have a dream, and you have a talent - one day they will come together.

<<hugs>>

Yep, you ARE exceptional all around, Redz!

Thanks, everyone. It's a better day today.

Yowza. Couldn't the USPS spread out the bad news a little? Maybe it's better to be quick about it. Anyway, you are Redzilla the Exceptional in my heart. I would adopt that moniker permanently if I were you.

I think you're an exceptional blogger...and from what I can tell, you sound pretty exceptional overall!

:( sorry to hear about the rejections, redz! i hope you'll get a favorable response soon!

but sweet news about the performance review! grats on that!

Laurie said it right. You're exceptional because you're RedZ.
