career update
T has told g that I have requested promotion to senior engineer. T had told g that I am doing the job and that if timed were good I would have already been promoted.
G commented that he only mafe me upto engineer a year ago.
T makes no guarantees that anything will happen but he has enough respect for me to show that he would ask. I must not repeat this to anyone or t will be slaughtered.

chat today
Had a good chat with t today. Told me not to bother asking for promotion (he himself) has been refused. But whrn staff were reviewed for redundancy I scored very near the top....I am of course sworn to secrecy on all of this.
He said that making p refindant wad like killing bambi. I doubthe has experienced bambi at his worst.
T did not get promoted at all until hr had handed over an entire houseblock....just showd how i sre tight with the promotions.

mid morning shit
Feeling a bit more interested in work ladt few days. Recently I have been thinking that I have not been performing very well. Whilst I have not been working hard I have been working 'more cleanly' clear dedk policy etc...this means I have greayer visibility of what I am doing...yhrrefore I am more awsre of whats going wrong. Ergo I am actually performing better, and ss such am more aware of failure and therefore think I am perfirming worse (when actually im better)...or I could just be an arrogant fucker
