Well...*cough*..story-telling time!

Got a call from my supervisor, informed me that the financial cluster head was in his office and they both would like to see me...+gulp+ I thought, ok, someone must've complained! Someone from some where in the organization must've complained *I've had meetings with them before but the call seemed weird*...so I quickly mind-listed the names of people that I've ticked off; end result was no list!! I *thank God* have a good work relationship with everyone I deal with in the organization.  So I thought, ok, this is a major disaster for sure!! >_< ..Central Bank has complained! +yikes+ I pushed the dark thoughts aside and headed towards his office..

There they were, one leaning against a chair, while the other was flipping thru some papers.  I sat down and a paper was placed infront of me with the addition of "Congrats" from both of 'em...I looked at the paper and there it was in bold, a grade, the next awaited grade...I tried to read...I really did, but everything had gone blurry.  I blinked several times; trying to make sure that what I had 'seen' was in fact real.  Yes, I was promoted! *_* I blurted out that I wasn't expecting this...and I wasn't.  Yes it did cross my mind - as I mentioned in a past entry - but living the life of a workaholic, I forgot about it all in the past hectic weeks.

I'm a manager.

I still haven't digested the fact yet.  I find myself asking the weirdest questions: Do I deserve it?  What if I don't live up to the management committee's expectations?  What if I disappoint all the people that believe in me and & all that I can achieve?? +sigh+ I hope this is a temporary kinda thing...ex-boss said it is & added that having such thoughts is normal.  Guess it is.  With bigger roles comes fear...hopefully, such thoughts will go away with time.  That aside, I have to thank God, for everything...and esp. for having great & loving people around me..  

Manager  Manager  Manager

Sometimes I think that if I repeat it often, I'll get used to the 'title' faster.
