[personal] Happyville or At Least the Same Zipcode
Sometimes I think the hubby can be really sweet and amazing.
First of all, the way I got this job had a lot to do with him. His boss / brother was talking with him, asking his advice on whole to hire for this temporary job that would get it done properly. He (my bro-in-law) actually brought up the hubby's best friend he's known for over thirty years and the truth is that despite Fat Hairy Bastard's fat hairy bastardness, he'd have been a good choice. Smart man. But the hubby, over his best friend he's known for more years than I've been alive, suggested me.
Once I was officially the one for the job, the hubby couldn't have (so I believed) been any more supportive than he already was. He had confidence that I could do this and maybe even well enough to win myself a more long-term job (though he was quick to say that I should by no means count on that). He also tried to encourage me by telling me how proud he was that I was even willing to try. Seriously, he's been great.
But today he apologized to me.
He said I'm amazing and that he underestimated me, both in how quickly I'd pick it up and in my social skills which I assumed (and mentioned to him) might be horrible after so long with just the hubby, the kitty, the former neighbor's dog, and you guys. He totally floored me.
He thought so well of me already, so it really means something to me when he can see me like that and STILL say he underestimated me in doing so. Now I'm all glowing and happy.
He really is wonderful.
