The results are in. (Drum roll sounding in the background) I did not get canned on Friday. And I have to take the next moment to publicly say that sometimes it's better to be an optimist and my friend/co-worker was right. There, now that I said that, here's what happened.
On Friday morning, my pessimistic side got the best of me and I wore the "I'm going to get fired outfit". Although, if I must say so myself, I totally rocked the turquoise jacket. And much to my surprise, myself and my co-worker were honored at a managers' meeting for being the awesome social workers that we are. It was a very surprising, humbling moment. I was thrilled that I wasn't getting fired but disappointed that I had wasted so much time and energy stressing about it that I wasn't able to fully enjoy what had just happened. This experience has again emphasized to me that you can't live life in a plastic bubble, trying to protect yourself from the worst happening by always planning for it. Even if you think you're prepared, it's still gonna hurt the same amount if the worst happens.
On a lighter note, I got many compliments on my outfit so I'm going to conclude that it wasn't too flashy and appropriate for the occasion. I think it's good for people to see that social workers got style too!
