Is it just me or?

Some days ago,
I was tasked to plan and execute a ceremony.
So I did all things necessary and ensure that it'll go well.
Even went back on a Sunday to make sure everything is going on smooothly.

Then come the day when I have to present to my boss before the actual event.
The presentation began with my colleague's portion, and my boss took 3hrs just to go through hers, while I have to wait for them to finish.

But when it was finally my turn to present,
she didn't even look at it for more than 10min.
And then, told her partner to review mine.

I was like, hello??
I waited for 3 hrs just to hear that??!!
Not that i needed her to tell me i have done a good job,
all i needed was her approval to tell me that I am on the right track.

But she had to make me sit through the 3 hrs to wait ,
and then another 10min to tell me to show my work to her partner instead.
I can fathom that.
It's either that she thinks my work is not of much importance for her to spend time on,
or that she thinks that it is so good that she just needs to get her partner to vet through.

Just don't make me wait for 3hrs and tell me you don't need to see my work.
I can use that amount of time to do more other impt work!

I just realise,
It's just important for your boss to show that she bothers to show a little bit of attention to the work you've done, and a tinge of appreciation would be good enough to spur you on.

Makes me also aware that I need that bit of recognition to be motivated.
Perhaps everyone is the same.
just that bit of recognition will spur us on further.
Sigh.
Where's my bit of recognition?

I figure,
I need to learn to be self-driven and motivated.
Most importantly, I need to have a positive mindset and feel good about myself and what I can do.
Else, I probably drown in my own self-doubt sooner or later.
