I think I usually view myself as the nervous cheetah in the enclosure in need of a buddy golden retriever. But my boss essentially just told me I'm doing great and she's hoping I rub off on one of my nervous coworkers so she's scheming ways for me to work with that coworker. I.e. I'm the golden retriever.

#mumblings about work #I always forget that I tend to adjust depending on who I'm with #if someone else is more nervous I guess I'm the person who makes the phone calls/talks to people for them #but on my own I hate doing all of it #I guess I'm faking it till I make it?#well enough that I've been given a nervous coworker to take care of #or will be given a nervous coworker to cheer on #lol maybe telling my boss that my old coworkers who get nervous for flights still reaches out before flights to chat with me till they boar #sealed the deal #I'm greatly amused #Pretty sure this coworker has been here longer than i have #I feel like I'm doing just sort of meh and still trying to learn #but apparently I'm being perceived as doing really well #I'll take it #I know how awful I felt this time last year at my old job so I guess I'm just shocked to be told I'm doing well and for it to be meant #and not gaslit that I'm doing badly but essential because they can't give me what I want but don't want me to quit #my old job was truly a gaslighting ego destroying nightmare
