And the winner is….

well, it’s more like, “and the results are..”

this is in reference to my recent follow-up review i had…

this is where your bosses tell you what you need to work on and the follow-up is for them to let you know if they’ve seen improvement or if you’re anywhere on the right track.

so i’m glad to report that my bosses said they’ve seen improvement!  yeehaw. foreals.

this whole thing made me realize how hard it is for me to receive positive feedback. as a kid, i only remember receiving positive feedback for performance.  it was never because of me.  i was more used to hearing negative feedback.  people telling me what i was doing wrong.  how much i sucked.  

to receive positive feedback is awkward.  i squirm. look to the side. tilt my head. look down. smirk and say thanks in a sarcastic tone without making eye contact.

sometimes i do make eye contact and it’s still weird.

you’d think that a big-mouthy outgoing chica like me was super confident but man, lack of confidence is my flaw.  a big one.  this Christmas, i want to know what it’s like to properly place my confidence in Christ and be fully restored. 

sounds impossible.

but i dare to hope.

that should be like my motto.  ok. done. it is. that’s my motto. 

i dare to hope.

amen.
