well 35 now but still. I've been with my new organization for that long and I still am floored by how well it's going.
Today I came into work from to an email from my boss praising an email I wrote and how wonderful it was that I am "keeping the trains running smoothly and doing so while representing [her] and the organization so well." and that she was so happy that I have joined the team.
I actually started crying at my desk. Luckily I was the only one in my part of the office at the time and was able to pull myself together before anyone saw me being a snotty mess. After Bosslady came in and we sat down for our beginning of the day/week review of what's on deck, I told her that she made me cry in a good way and how I honestly could not remember the last time I experienced positive validation from a supervisor. She actually teared up a little and said that she was sorry that I had experienced that and no one should have to work like that.
So yes, I am happy where I am. I am learning a lot, have wonderful coworkers who include me in conversations and have invited me to join them for lunch from time to time. I get thanked for the "emergency chocolate" basket on my desk, and in general have been made to feel like I am part of the team.
Additionally, I commented to friends this weekend that it's been over a month since I had a tension induced migraine. It's been over a month since I had a tremor storm (that's what I call them as they are not seizures), it's been over a month since I spent the majority of my day watching the clock and counting the minutes to lunch and home. I no longer fear hearing my name being called out.
It's only been a month, bu to quote Little Orphan Annie "I think I'm gonna like it here."
