I got my promotion this year based on a lot of smoke and mirrors. Not to say I didn't work, but I can't say I was putting my full effort in, or that I was putting as much effort in as I made it look to management.
However, I think I've retroactively earned the promotion over the last 3 weeks. Or, at least, I've accelerated from cruise control, right on past where I should have been over the last year, and am now putting in effort befitting my new position.
Feels good, but I'm exhausted, and getting a little tired of late work hours eating into my time with Theo. But at least it's been rewarding work.
