As some of you know, I have been trying to learn some new job duties. One of them didn't work out very well, which was a real blow to my confidence. Especially as I have been struggling with my new tasks. To top it off a friend got fired who had been there a long time and he told another person before it happened that he thought he was being set up to fail. So I've been a bit paranoid. Last week was especially discouraging as I was being thrown into tasks I hadn't been trained for adequately, and naturally these were all projects that were all behind so the pressure was really on. I thought about going to my supervisor but I thought I've already been talked to in the past about complaining and I am really trying to turn over a new leaf (even if it is fake) and not let things get to me.
Anyway when I came back to work Monday I got an e-mail from my supervisor that she had gotten from the person who was training me. The e-mail said that I was doing a wonderful job picking up on all the new tasks and that I truly was an asset to the department. Let me tell you that has made my day! Here I was so discouraged thinking I was in trouble when actually the opposite was the case!
So you see sometimes good things come to those who wait. I am glad I didn't go into the supervisor now because it would have spoiled everything.
