Sycophants, etc, revisited


I had to have a follow-up meeting with Graham today, to go back over the stuff we went over at the seminar on Friday. 
Apparently Jerry and Claire sent the company a ‘debrief document’ about how they think the day went and how everyone reacted, and they gave me a glowing report! God knows what I did right, as I spent most of the day writing a CV in my notepad and daydreaming about Philippa in a swimsuit.  But maybe that’s the best way for me to work - let myself get distracted by something and just do the job itself automatically.
Graham says I have ‘redeemed myself in his eyes after a few difficult episodes last Autumn.’
I said “Yeah, sorry about all that. I wasn’t sleeping very well and I was getting stressed out about Christmas. I’m back on top of my game now and raring to go.”
Graham says that my New Year behaviour and attitude are a credit to me, and he pointed out that Jerry and Claire’s assessment, along with his own report on the day, will be seen by his superiors at Head Office. 
All of a sudden I am the Golden Boy at the supermarket and being looked upon as a future Store Manager. Shame really as I’d be so much happier if they sacked me.
