Confidence-building

[redbird]

As the days and weeks go by, I'm doing more and more bits of the new job. It is very good for my confidence, because when I take them up, they are well within my abilities and experience. In some cases, they come with unexpected flattery, like Susan asking how I wanted comments on a manuscript she's copyediting, and in the course of the discussion saying kind things about my science knowledge.

The job keeps sounding better and better: good work, that you can do and do well, and coworkers who give specific feedback -- especially positive feedback, when it's warranted. How very satisfying.
