Positive vibes needed, please!

I have my review today and I'm feeling nervous about it. I already know my raise (if you could call it that) and it's the highest anyone is getting, so I don't think I'm going to get fired or anything. But last December, my boss and I had a bit of an argument about the reasons why someone else in my department got promoted even though she'd only been here a short time while at least 4 of us who are more deserving and have more seniority have not been promoted. My boss was angry (and quite frankly, defensive) about the implications being made by the group of us (not just me) that certain unfair advantages were given to those who partied with her outside of work. I'm not a fuddy duddy but I'm just not a big drinker, and the cigarette smoke at bars makes me sick. Plus I have a lot going on outside of work that needs my attention. I don't mind if those folks who enjoy hanging out at bars do just that, but I don't see why that should make me less qualified for a promotion.

Anyway, it all got smoothed over for the most part, but I'm nervous she's going to use that as an excuse to make me look bad in my review.

The other possibility is that, since I still am not getting promoted, she'll be super sweetie pie like she was last year and talk about how wonderful I am to keep me from quitting. I kinda hope that's what happens, even though I know it's not totally sincere.

So if you could spare some positive vibes, I sure could use them.

5. IT WORKED!

Thanks, the review went like I was hoping. Totally positive, if completely insincere. I know I'm not ever getting promoted here, so at least until I hit the seven year mark and can leave with my 401K completely vested, I'm happy to keep trucking along pretending everything is just peachy.

Thanks all! I will send any leftover positive vibes CT's way bigwillq.
