Sit down…
You’re not gonna believe this. I know I didn’t.
I got good news today. And a compliment. AT WORK.
Glad you sat down, aren’t you?
At the unnamed company for which I work, an employee spends a certain amount of time in training for each different job, and after the classroom training, there is another period of time in something called transition. It’s a time that allows you to learn the job but with lots of help and coaching. There are people who assist with the coaching, and I was asked to be one of those four folks.
I was stunned. I assumed you had to have a number far better than mine in order to be selected for that position, and, in typical chel fashion, I mentioned this to my manager and the two supervisors in the meeting with me. They assured me that numbers weren’t the only consideration for this position, that it calls for someone who can be patient with the new folks, professional and kind.
Look, for the first time ever, nice got me somewhere. How groovy is that?!
Now, it’s only a three month position, but I plan to enjoy every one of those months. And I am going to be very grateful for the people who believed in me enough to trust me with this responsibility.

You go, nice girl!
Thanks! I’m still worried they picked the wrong girl, but we’ll wait and see on that.
Congrats & good luck!
Thanks. Tomorrow is my first day on the new job, so I’m a little nervous. And we’re all still exhausted from the FUN visit, so I feel like I’m starting at a disadvantage.
Awesome! Congratulations!!!
and what a great training program they have where you work. wish the job from H i had for a week would have been like that.
I’ll give my big corporate employer that… they do a super training program! And once I get past the general nervousness, I think I’ll do well with the mentoring and the answering questions portion of the program.
They see what we already know about you!!!
You’re so sweet.
WOW:)!
