And so, today has been pretty cool. Weird, but cool.
My manager took me aside today (she's leaving in a few weeks to make place for a new manager whose favourite phrase is "we work hard and we play hard"...). Basically, my old manager has been getting completely on my moobs for weeks now, picking me up on every single thing. So today, she basically apologised to me, and said that the reason she's being so irritating is because she's trying to push me, so that i get things perfectly.
The company is having it's "appraisals" this week, which is basically where the managers all get together and talk about the employees strengths and weaknesses etc. She said she was going to put in a really good word to the region manager for me, and wants me to overtake the only person who's left in the team, that has been here longer than me (she's been here 7 years, i've been here almost 1).
She said that within 3 years, she expects me to be really high up the company ladder, and is basically trying to give me as much-a-push as she can before she leaves, and she said that (I quote this) within a couple of months, I can be "the best".
Really cool, and somewhat weird. Concluding in leaving me feeling amazingly big-headed.
