Monday through Friday from 7:15 AM until 5 PM, I am in my cubicle at Gilead Sciences. When my boss went on vacation a few weeks ago for a week, he left me in charge. His job is so complicated. It isn't the exact duties, but rather the manager's demands. They act like if something isn't approved automatically, it is life and death. Long story short, I made it through the week!! My manager took me to an appreciation lunch at a nice Italian restaurant. I thought that was a good way to show that he appreciated me. The real surprise came today. My manager's manager, the Director of Business Operations, forwarded me an email that my manager (Kevin) had written him. In it, Kevin said "Emily is the one who impacted me last week. Emily continues to impress me with her motivation to learn. The thing that impressed me most about her work while I was out was that she knew when to take control of the situation and make a decision but she also knew when to ask for help. She went to the right people and kept things moving right along. Good help is hard to find and I am so happy to have her by my side." I cried when I read it. I am so thankful for a manager like him. He is so great to work with/for. He is one of the main reason's I love my job. Well, he is out of town again for the next 3 days. I started the day with my "dirty Chai" so that I would have energy for the busy tasks ahead....
