Adrenaline Rush

Thy ex-boss cum partner at my previous practicing firm once commented that I have potential (whatever that means) but I lack in confidence. That I find freakishly true since I'm often misperceived as someone who is full of it (confidence that is). A BIG HUGE misconception that is!!

When he found out I was leaving practice for my current job, he whispered to a colleague which was coveyed to me later that I will learn to gain such confidence here. And that, I also found freakishly true. Hey, ex-cool-boss, u psychic or sumthing?

It was adrenaline rush just a moment ago when I voiced an opinion which was not in line with my boss's line of thinking. Did not voice it out in a way that showed disrespect to her years of experience but I did sense discomfort on her part with the fact that I seem not to agree with her opinion on that particular matter. If it was the ol' me, I would've agreed all the way for fear that if I squeak I would look plain ridiculous coming from someone who very much lack of skills in every aspect.

To be honest, I've yet to attain full confidence in what I do. Every legal opinion drafted would leave me thinking was it right or wrong for at least the whole week after even though it was checked and approved by my Boss. However, slowly but surely that's beginning to change. Must be the cofidence that I'm gaining.ngeeee..

Hence, to my ex-boss. Thanks for believing that I'd be just fine where I am and even if I decided not to leave, thank you for believing that I'd be able to perform just fine.
