Thanks everyone! Yes it went pretty well. She gave me a few low scores but always followed it up with "but you're still LEARNING". But overall it came to 'met expectations', so that was good. Also our rapport has gotten back to the previous easygoing tone it was before we both got upset. She said alot of real positive things too like that she expects me to move up whether its in our department or another. She said she wouldn't have hired me if she didn't think I had that quality because she would never hire someone who would just settle for this position for the next 10 years. So all that really made me feel good.
One thing she wants me to improve is my confidence, and to take more risks. Yeah, what else have I been trying to do my whole adult life!?!? Of course she doesn't know that, and one thing I've learned is no one NEEDS to know that. No one needs to know how many problems I've had to overcome, or that I was ever much much worse off than I am now. Its been a hard lesson but I think I've finally learned it. My family life never had any boundries whatsoever, so I had to learn about them for myself.
So things are looking good right now, which just goes to show you that sometimes you've got to bide your time and not just storm out when things get dicey. I think I'm getting pretty good at riding out the tough times instead of making rash decisions. Not that its ever easy.
