Wider Problem

I am working on a variation of a product at the moment and was asked to attend a meeting with my two superiors.

Thye made some comments about my delivery and asked me to make some changes. I wasn't sure how to take it. I suspected that it may be implied criticism but my wife thought otherwise.

I always take these things negatively. I asked to see another one of the people delivering a different variant the next day and she said that she was having difficulties with the product also. However, the comments that superiors made were less directed at her personally.

A couple days later I am fine. However, I have worked hard to produce additional work and I have run the next piece of work past the superior with ultimate respnsibility. He seemed happy enough.

Forget and move on!

I also went to a social event last night which went really well. It was only a drink and, needless to say beforehand, I wasn't too keen to go.

However, when I got there I really enjoyed myself. I got chatting to another colleague and gained some useful insight. The key thing though was that I did attend - and was seen to do so.
