Credit check.

I want to talk, or write I guess, a little about credit. And I don't mean credit cards, or credit ratings, or anything financial. I mean being ascribed with something, being aknowledged for something that was done or something that happened, and I want to talk about it when you get credit for something in a good light.

What is it worth? Do we really need it? How do you feel when someone else gets credit for something you accomplished? What do you do when you get credit for something someone else did?

I'm not really sure what the answers to these questions are, but it is something that I have been thinking a lot about lately. Issues like this have come up at work and in social life. And it hasn't been anything big but it little things have happened that have made me stop and think.

I know this is vague... I know I'm proposing a lot of questions and not even really telling you all what I'm thinking or why I'm thinking it. What it sort of comes down to is being noticed. I wonder sometimes if the things I'm doing are being noticed. And I wonder sometimes about the ideas that I have that are carried out by someone else, are they getting credit that I deserve? I am really not lacking in getting credit. I think that people at work are recognizing that I am working hard and that I have some great ideas that are making a difference. I like that getting that aknowledgement but I don't do things for the aknowledgement.

However, when I pass ideas on to be helpful, I do feel a little jealous when I don't get the credit. SO what does that mean?
