That morning the girl who I'm replacing, who's such an insufferable know-it-all, came up and told me to just let her know if I needed her help to make my deadline. I was like, "Sure" ...over my dead body. I knew she would have a field day if I had to ask her for help. She kept making a really big deal about how much work I had, like there was no way I could possibly finish on time and was too stupid to know it. That made me even more determined to finish on time, which I did (Yea!).
Its so weird, I always knew I was overworked and under appreciated at my other jobs, but they're negative opinions always mingled with my self doubt, so I always half way thought they were right. Its good to know that wasn't necessarily true.
Yesterday, my supervisor told me I had done a REALLY good job and that there had been ALOT of comments about it. I also had two different people in management come to my desk to tell me how impressed they were with my work! All I could think was, this really wasn't all that hard, that other girl must have been REALLY bad! I don't know why its so hard to stop belittling my accomplishments like that.
When know-it-all-girl found out I finished on time, you should have seen her mouth hanging open. Heh, heh.
