thinking about the good news i got from my boss yesterday and how sweet she was about it. like, don't get me wrong, she isn't a perfect boss (who is?) but at least she's one of those bosses with a decent amount of humanity.
i'd say i've made spectacular recovery for the past 3 years and my current job has had such a positive impact on me. back in 2022 i never thought i'd get this job at my favorite museum in Paris, and here i am, almost 3 years later and finally being ensured a permanent contract beginning of 2026. i never thought i'd be picked among the 50-ish applications my boss had to review back then. i was slowly crawling back from my depression pit, but still went to the interview - with the amazing support from my partner.
and ever since, my boss continued to insist for my contract to be renewed because she knows i like it there, my job gives me stability and i also made friends among my coworkers. so hearing from her that she once again stood up as 'my' advocate to the HR team makes it feel very gratifying, that someone does think i'm a good element and that they want to give me a chance to get some peace of mind. also, with only knowing a tiny amount of details, she still knows where i come from professionally speaking (burnouts and such), that i'm in a long-distance relationship so having some stable income is fundamental for me, and that i'm 31 and aiming at new goals and projects in the future.
so yeah, long post but today i'm feeling grateful✨
