A good week ahead I hope

So, Monday is here again and for once in my life, I'm actually excited to see it. Work is going to be as usual but I've got less on my mind and I now work with a bit of a chip on my shoulder.

Passing probation the way I did makes it a bit easier to handle the mental strain that comes with my job. I'm not looking over my shoulder anymore and not, I can start looking up.

I hadn't talked so much about my probation period in the months leading up to it because it was hardly ever in doubt. It normally takes six months to be confirmed by my manager all but confirmed it'll be going through a few months ago, so I've been working with a slightly higher level of confidence since.

In my manager's words, the only thing that could hamper my chances of success is a collosal drop in my performance and a breach of company rules. Those are two situations that I was almost never going to fall into, so yeah, for the most part, I knew.

Passing probation means that I'll have a slight increase in my salary but most importantly, it means I'll be able to apply for other roles in the company. This then brings me to the internal job application I sent out on Friday.

If it all goes to plan, I should be getting good news sometimes this week. If I get the trainer role, I'd be in a higher salary band and in turn, probably be eligible for visa sponsorship.

I'm not getting ahead of myself though. I'm eagerly anticipating and have been checking my work email for confirmation. So, yeah, I hope I get good news from that application and make this week an amazing one. Fingers crossed.
