I skipped #4. I try not to brag about good things I do, but I'm certainly not silent about it, either. Like, right now I'm working on a huge project that will save us lots of time... I don't sit around and talk about how awesome it is, but I have made a point to talk with our department supervisor to say, "This is going on, you should know about it because I might need your help to get people on board."

I make sure upper management knows what I'm up to. Silent good work definitely does NOT get noticed.

Well, I tried to make it as black and white as possible to the extreme. In the end, I think if you speak up about it and point it out to your supervisor, you are "tooting your horn" in a calm, acceptable manner. I don't think all tooting needs to be obnoxious and loud.
