In other news I may be on track for a promotion after less than a year in this role.

Not anything official but the TL pulled me aside after lunch and basically did an rough job appraisal.

I'm not gonna act that I'm not pleased but I'm also not gonna pretend there's no chance they're just talking out of their ass.

Happened to me at the last job. So there is a CHANCE. But that's all there is till I get the corner office and pre prepared coffee.(it's open plan hotdesking and the coffee is 3 in 1)
