Unexpected

I have just finished my first year at my minimum wage job at a local daycare in town. It is time for my evaluation and my boss seems extremely happy. At first my thoughts go negative thinking; she is existed to let me go, but not before telling me how much I have messed up. I fear shes going to tell me the children I watch and adore hate me and the parents have complained and want to see me fired. I take a seat across from her taking deep breaths trying not to cry or panic. It is just a job I keep telling my self hoping it will make it easier when she tells me, "Your fired". Right as she is about to begin the phone rings and I release a breath of air I did not know I was holding on to. The conversation does not last long enough for me to come to terms with the fact that this might be my last day. She flashes me a big creepy smile before laughing like she just heard the most funniest joke ever. I stare at her bewildered waiting for her to calm back down. "Darling" she says but to my ears it just sounds like shes trying to patronize me. I bite my tongue trying to not lash out on her and waiting patiently for her to continue. "Do not look so worried you look as if someone kicked your puppy" she tells me flashing me her business smile. I try to relax but no amount of reassuring words are helping my nerves. She sits back and goes threw some papers on her desk before looking up at me. As I watch her I am mentally asking my self if I really believe she will fire me. When my eyes meet hers I see her nodding her head and I panic again thinking she has read my mind. But what she tells me takes me by surprise. I am so shocked I ask her if she could repeat her self. "You have done an excellent job here, better then I ever thought you would" she repeats as a smile begins to grow upon my face and my worries run away. I thank her repeatedly causing her to laugh again. "Were you worried?" she asks me with an eye brow raised. I nod my head telling her the truth knowing she could read my emotions clear on my face. My boss is the nicest lady you can meet but the fact she held my work future in her hands had me scared. She shook her head at me in disbelief. "You thought I was going to let you go" It was not a question but more of a statement so I remained silent. "The kids love you here I would be a fool to let you go" she tells me while returning to her paper work. In my head I am thanking the world for allowing me to remain at my job I do not think I could have taken it well if she truly did fire me. As I stand up thinking we are done she holds her hand up to halt my motions. "Just wanted to let you know I am moving you to head monitor in the toddlers room do not disappoint me" she says before shooing me away. I walk out of her office with a permanent smile on my face, proud of my self for completing me first year and coming out better then before. I would now be in charge of not just the children but the other monitor that works with me. Looking back now I do not know why I was nerves when really I had nothing to be worried about everything ended well in the end.
