Here is the story of the friday the 10th!

Morning

Christina my manager saw me with handful of project. Came to me and said: Is everything okay?Are you happy here? I was a bit suprized but I said, why yes. Everything is great! how is your daurghter doing?? I just asked the most irrelevent question that just popped into my mind! She said that her daughter was doing fine and she smiled and left!

Afternoon

I had to take a late lunch and by the time I got to the cafe, my supervisor, who just was finished her lunch, looked at me sort of suspiciously! why are you late for lunch?so asked. I had to take care of some stuff,I mumbled. And was suprized why she asked me that question. Regardless I ate and went back to my work, I was just sitting down to start my work and bit chatting with my co-worker, she was going to see her friend on the weekend. I told her that I was bored and I want to go to a party! When my supervisor approached me and said: Can you come with me please. She was holding a folder. At first I thought may be I need to see the auditor and explain something about a project but as we passed the auditor's room, I began feeling nervious. I couldn't breathe anymore. Holding my last breath, I finally asked her is it good news or bad news, as I realized we were approaching one of the manager's offices?!She said:I won't give you bad news, or do you want me to give bad news to you?I said:oh not at all. Please don't even say it if it's bad news! At that moment my mind was racing a mile a second thinking about a reason why we are going there. She directed to sit down and she sat next to me. She asked me if I have applied for the positions offered in the company. I said negative, since the HR needs at least a year of service for contract people. Calmly she told me that my department is offereing me a permanent position!!!I was shocked! All this time I thought I was thinking pessimestically and now I was offered a position??I read the the letter in the folder. My salary was raised and I was eligable for benefits and also after a year I could buy shares of the company!!!I was speechless. The only thing I could do was to give a hug to my supervisor and thank her. She said you think I will let you leave?I think I was blushing at that moment since I had hot flashes!!
It was then and there that I realized what Christina was talking about in the morning. Apparantly everyone knew and it was suprize to me!!since afterwards people came to me and congradulated me.

Late Afternoon

As I was wrapping up to leave work I saw Rod, My director. He said with a smile, did you recieve the letter? With the biggest smile on my face, I said yes and thanked him. He said not to thank him. You were a very good employee and we definately want to keep you here as long as possible! We hope you stay here for a while!I guess he knew that I was starting to look around for other positions!!
My co-worker came to me and said:Now you have to invite your friends and have a party!

This is a true story. It happened to a to me when I was so sure that everything is not going to the direction I wanted them to go. I got suprized on how I sometimes get the incorrect impression of the world arround me!
