In my current job...

Before I start off my post, I just wanted to tell you all about a great giveaway ($50 Amazon or Pay Pal Gift Card) over at ThirtySixMonths (http://thirtysixmonths.com/2011/11/27/giveaway-50-paypal-or-amazon-gift-card).  Don't forget to enter!  $50 could definitely help with any Christmas-related expenses or to splurge a little on yourself.

So following my last post about not getting the job, I was feeling a little down but I knew it just meant I needed to focus on my current position and moving up and becoming a leader on the team I'm currently working on.  Yesterday, about 30 minutes before the work day was over, my career leader called me down to her office.

I was caught off guard when she informed me that through a recommendation, I was awarded a bonus!  She spoke briefly of the work I had done that was included in the recommendation.  She also mentioned how my team lead/manager and herself as well as others really appreciated the work that I do and the contribution that I make to the team. 

Hearing about the appreciation, reminded me how blessed I am to be in the current job position I am in and that I am doing a good job.  Also, staying in this job position means possibilities of greatness and reaching my career goals. 

So it was a great way to end the day and to follow up with Friday's not-so-great news.
