    Not a lot, but everything helps.

    @APBBlue I feel like common decency would have you at least preface it with “got some good news”.

    I sometimes get random “check in” meetings from people and it’s unnerving.

      @APBBlue Your boss needs a lesson in how to deliver good news 😆

      Congratulations anyway, though!

          @APBBlue Hurrah! But maybe just compensating the medical care you’ll need for the pre-call stress.

                @APBBlue my favorite note from a boss was when I was at DISA and we had to filter classified stuff out before transferring to the un-class side so people could do their every day jobs

                        Various thoughts:

                        Am I in trouble?
                        What did I do?
                        Am I being fired?

                        My boss is very literal. I had one of these recently and I opened the meeting with "Am I laid off?" and she seemed shocked.

                                    @APBBlue This kind of message really sends me into a bit of a terror spiral, running through all the possibilities.

                                    Thinking this is caused by my #AuDHD
