Promoted at work
I got promoted at work. :9
I had to give a presentation to the big boss to demonstrate my knowledge and technical background. My boss suddenly told me to get it done in 3 days and give her the draft. Then I was out in Los Angeles attending training all week and got sick while I was out there. I got back on Wednesday the week after and edited my draft for her review. Then the following week I was in Maryland, flew back on Thursday, and did a dry run presentation for my boss and her boss on Friday. Considering I hadn't seen my slides for two weeks (not the sort of thing I could take with me), I did pretty good and they gave me some things to change and the thumbs up to move forward. After the dry run I left to San Diego for the next week.
Now, this was the first full week I've been back and I still didn't get to familiarize myself with my slides because I had shit to do from being gone. I made the recommended changes from the dry run today, took an hour to become familiar with my presentation, and then presented to the big boss. It went pretty well, no difficult questions, and in the end he gave me his thumbs up for promotion. It feels good, right before vacation too.

Re: Promoted at work
Nice! Congratulations Raven, but I am glad it was you and not me. I hate giving presentations with a passion. I don't mind bringing the boss in and showing him my work or what my ideas are but to set something up to be basically graded on and approved, *no way*. Nice pay bump too?
