GOOD DAY!!!

[En1234]

A short message...(??? that will be a first... ) to all of my good friends on here (you know who you are), who have supported me over the last few days, when I have had an "insecurity wobble" in my new job. These "wobbles" really are quite scary but I know that I can come on here and just put my thoughts down and usually I feel a lot better once I have had a wee chat.

Today I had to sit 2 assessment exams and I felt sick to my stomach when I was given my papers but for the first one I got 80% (you have to get 80% or more to pass) and I was so happy that I passed the first one. Then there was another one in the afternoon and I got a score of 90% for that one!!

I was literally walking on air the whole way home.

I had a really good day because I relaxed and told myself that I am a smart, intelligent woman who would NOT have been able to work as a Legal Secretary for almost 15 years if I had been stupid. I have been labelling myself as "stupid" and "useless" for weeks now and today it was as if a light bulb DID actually go off in my head!! I deserve to be happy and to have this job and enjoy it and at last today I felt as though that was exactly what I was doing!!. I know there will be other parts of the training which will be difficult but at least now I DO know that I WILL get there!!..I have just proved to myself that I CAN do it. Learning something new should be fun and exciting and good not something to be terrified of!! But the support I have received (yet again) on here has been second to none!!

Thank you so much for being such good listeners, and such good friends!!

Lots of love to you all!!

So happy Bob!!.. I am actually looking forward to going in tomorrow and cant wait to move on to the next stage. People kept saying to me to just keep going and after a couple of weeks this would start to "click" into place. Fortunately, I am now starting to hear the "clicks"...

Oh Theresa I'm so happy that you have stuck at it and got over that pesky hump with such flying colours! There is always at least one hump in any learning process and it's sometimes hard to get over it. You have. Well done my friend. Now onwards and upwards! When do you finish your training and start the actual job? I'm sure that will be so rewarding for you when that happens.

[En1234 in reply to clovislorry]

Glad I stayed!! Had a wee chat with our trainer today and she said she is really happy with the way all of us are coming along. She said to me "You dont see what I see" and this also filled me with confidence. All in all it has been a really good week.

I hope you are OK today and thank you for being a kind friend also.

Fantastic news !!!! Hope you enjoy plenty of celebrating this weekend.

[En1234 in reply to Hidden]

I shall be enjoying this weekend Sebastian. I have lots of chocolate and a new book to start reading. Weather is to be really nice so will enjoy sitting down by our castle (we have a small castle across the road from where I live and the grounds are lovely for sunbathing on), and reading my book. Going for my walk and just chilling out. That will be my way of celebrating. Nice and simple but I will be stress-free for a change.

I hope life is being good to you too. You also have been a good friend to me on here and I am very grateful to you!!

Have a lovely weekend!!
