It's amazing how good a little praise feels

As those of you with access to my locked posts already know that this past weekend at work was hellish. A huge number of last-minute jobs, last second changes, and I work alone in the office. I was flailing about with half-done reservations, handling drivers, and calling the bosses for guidance every half-hour.

Today, I came in for my closing shift, and one of the owners told me I handled things like a pro.

I have suffered from impostor syndrome for years... that fear that suddenly everyone will notice that I am wholly unqualified to do whatever it is I'm doing, and expose my failings to the world. So to be told that I handled a rough patch well really made my night.

Maybe I am good at this after all.
