Hi Whirlers,
Apparently, there is
some question or impression of "What is she doing? Is she doing anything? What's happening when she 'works from home'?" This in spite of the fact that I keep a detailed time sheet (each project/acivity, expected # of total hours, daily hrs spent for
each item, etc).
?
I realize that it's
commonplace in the world of Tech Comm for the SMEs to think we a) don't really
do anything and b) only serve to bother them, but I'd like to try to keep my relationships with the programmers and engineers on the
upside. I'm trying to find a better way to track what I'm doing so they can easily understand that I'm doing what I ought to be.
?

your coworkers know you're not sitting around twidding your thumbs?
