I’m not afraid of my boss. She and I see eye to eye on most things, we get along well, I know I’m a valued employee, blah blah blah. But some days, when she sends me an email asking me if I have a few minutes, or if I can come by her office to talk, I get nervous. Like I’m being called to the principal’s office. Like I’m in trouble. Have I done anything? Not that I’m aware of, but I’ll start to get paranoid about something small, something that no one would get in trouble for, but maybe it’s something I thought twice about doing. Not once have I ever gone to her office and found that I AM in trouble, that I HAVE done something wrong. Will I ever grow out of that?

Yeah, you’ll outgrow it when you’re the one calling people into your office.

That phrase makes me nervous no matter who is saying it!

If you ever figure out how to outgrow that, please let me know how.

This is disheartening…
