So I came across this article the other day at Inc.called 8 Qualities of Remarkable Employees by Jeff Haden. Here's the quick list.

1. They ignore job descriptions. 
2. They’re eccentric.
3. But they know when to dial it back. 
4. They publicly praise.
5. And they privately complain. 
6. They speak when others won’t. 
7. They like to prove others wrong.
8. They’re always fiddling. 

The link was sent to me by one of Half Off Depot's investors. The note simply said "this describes you." First time I ever took being a bit quirky as a compliment.
