The Return Of Mister Crankypants...

One of those days today.  My boss, very old school council depot worker, bluff to the extreme goes very much for the jugular at the slightest mistake.  My co-worker is as big a stress bunny as I am.  Being as the boss hit me with a mistake within a minute of taking my coat off and switching my PC on, I'm afraid I snapped back at him.  The day didn't get any better.  I made another mistake letter and received the attentions of my co-worker and boss.  SInce I still have very little confidence in my work, I was again quite snappy making comments along the line of "I'm not as stupid as you think I am!"  I had a chat with my boss's boss.  He assured me that they were more than happy with my work and went on to tell me a little more about possible future developments in the department.

Sometimes I just need someone to tell me that I am doing a good job.  Not something that seems to pass from my boss's lips easily.
