I had my one-ish year review at work yesterday. I've been (half-jokingly) saying that since it hasn't been a priority for them, I assume that things are going okay for me!
So - of course - I was late for my review meeting because my day was a little hectic and completely got away from me. My bosses not only had to help me finish up a case, they also ran ahead to the close-by cafe and ordered me a hot chocolate and a sandwich.
Once I had things somewhat under control at the clinic, I ran the (thankfully short!) distance to the cafe and basically had the most lovely review.
Both my bosses expressed how happy they have been with me this past year, reaffirmed to me multiple times that I am a good veterinarian (something that I feel like always need to hear), and that the staff and clients like me. They want to make sure I felt supported and that I'm not feeling as if I'm in over my head. They also said really nice things about me as a person - that they simply just enjoy working with me, that they appreciate that I'm cheerful, and that even when I am stressed I still present as calm. My one boss even said he could see that I do sometimes find joy in my job (which can be hard) and he feels that based on his experience with me in the past year, it's not something he thinks I will lose.
It just felt so nice to be praised and appreciated like this.
Even though I was a bit frazzled, I emphasized how happy I am working at this clinic, how supported I feel, and how I feel like I am learning to be a better veterinarian. They are telling me that they recognize and appreciate my value and... it's really a wonderful feeling.
Seeking out this position really has been the best bit of kismet I've had in the admittedly charmed life that I lead! And I am grateful.
