A Really Good Day at Work…

When was the last time you had a really good day at work? (FirstWatch folks excluded because you all work in the “Dream Team”).  I realise that I am still in the honeymoon phase of my new job but still yesterday was the best day I have had at work in a number of years. I won’t bore you with detail other than to say that I had to give a presentation (as one hour of a day full of presentations) to a group of people I had not yet met. I had to present my test methodology (see why I did not want to bore you?). Not the most exciting topic I’m sure you will agree. I launched in and did my best. When my slides were finished and everyone in the room was still awake and did not appear to have gnawed any limbs off I felt pretty good. Then I received some lovely comments from the people around the table. I was floored. I was not expecting such a positive reaction. I don’t think I actually even touched a single step on my way down the stairs…I was flying!  That feeling lasted long intro the evening and I felt great. We all need a day like this once in awhile just to allow us to remember that what we each do everyday is important and does make a difference to someone. This exerprience will now always be there and on those days there are not so good, I can draw on this to push me through. I hope you have one of these days soon.
