It’s All Good

So I sent my boss an email asking if we could get together to touch base on the subject of an upcoming “go-live” for a project I have been the integration lead on. I was a little wary of requesting this discussion because my previous experience at my last job was that when I asked for help on something I’d never done before, I was punished and ultimately it was used as a reason to fire me.

Anyway, basically, I mentioned that I haven’t been through a major “go-live” with them and I wanted to understand what my role would be and what would be expected of me during that day and the days after in regards to time, etc.

The truth is that my choir is having concerts the two night after the project goes live. Honestly, I have found the whole choir experience to be unfun and rather a like work I don’t get paid for. I don’t like the choir mistress, her methods, or her music choices. I’m not the only one apparently. So, I’m kind of hoping that my boss will want me to be available for 48 hours after the “go-live” so I can just go ahead and drop out of choir now.

So, my boss sent me an email back saying we could discuss that in my annual review tomorrow. I guess he’s starting to get a feel for me because he included a “P.S.” at the end of the email that in regards to the review, everything looks good to him. He must have finally picked up on my insecurity regarding reviews. Really they stress me out. At my last job, they used to have to do mine first because I would get ill with the waiting my turn once it started. Really, I think I may bring my St. John’s Wart & Chamomile tea tomorrow and drink it before our meeting. :blush:

Anyway, his words do ease my inner-worrier a bit. Having my new age music at work has helped to relax me too.
