My boss came back from a week away today. Before he went I said that as I have been there almost 3 months, we should schedule a review meeting.

He decided to do it today shock

I said " well, I'm happy, how about you?"

He replied "No, I'm not happy, I'm delighted!"

I'm very grin grin grin

Oh - that is good news indeed! I bet you did a double take when he said he was not happy - the rat!!

He was extremely complimentary about my work, my contribution to the business as a whole and my attitude. grin Also said that it was clear that I cared about the school (which I do).

As I was leaving he nabbed me to discuss business cards and when I made some suggestions about design, he said "I'm discovering more and more of your talents" blush

I think I'll give it another 3 months and then ask for a pay rise! wink

I don't think I could be any happier in a job, to use a cliché it "ticks all the boxes"

Nothing nicer than loving where you work. Onwards and Upwards! wine

I'm really pleased for you! Shame there isn't a [bubbly] emoticon, but wine !

Lona Mon 14-Sept-15 20:00:00

I think it's quite funny that you were the one to suggest the review, not him! I reckon you'll be running the show before long! grin
Well done though, it's great when you love your job.
