Tom Petty and [smiling jack chance] are right. The wait sucks.
Had another presentation today. Both Boss and Boss Party Pants showed up. I kinda rocked the house. My nemesis (I believe the one who started the whole ball rolling) interrupted my presentation to congratulate me on my “big idea” that they are actually executing (to the tune of several million $$ sales potential, I might add), and then thanked me (again–2nd meeting in a row) for my work.
THEN, my design counterpart came up to me in the hallway and cut in on a conversation between my boss, HER boss, and me and thanked me for my effort/work, calling out certain points I’d mentioned, and told me that It was a great presentation.
Too little, too late? We’ll see on Friday. And why would my arch enemy give me kudos in the meeting? I think he knows my head is on the chopping block, and I don’t think he wants me fired.
Regardless, I feel good about today. I know I do good work. Even if it’s too late, I know I’ll do good work on something else eventually.
This has been the most anxiety-ridden 60 days of my life.
I don’t wish ill on anyone, though I have to keep telling myself. If I was meant to travel another path, then good. I just hope for a decent severance.
And a clear path ahead. Please.
