Today, for the first time since I joined, a senior colleague complimented my work. Maybe she was just being nice, but so what? You feel nice when people are nice to you. I keep telling myself all that matters is I don't do a terrible job. The university in in chaos and everyone is too busy dealing with their own shit. It is easy to stay below the radar if you don't screw up massively. But, being invisible has its benefits but also costs. I don't feel like part of the department at all, and while my personality is more suited than most to deal with alienation of this sort, it does chaff sometimes. Also, I am working hard and its good to receive acknowledgement of my efforts.
