Standard Raised
right..so today was my scheduled appointment with my supervisor. She prepared well.
I stepped into her office at 1130am today and noticed that her office was a little different. She had this huge whiteboard on the table against the wall....it was meant for me....nope..not meant for me to take home..meant for me to PRESENT to my supervisor the work that i'm going through .....well, that was what she said..the whiteboard was meant for me to write on for her to see...
she has just raised the bar....she has raised the pressure for me....
She was really quick..when i asked her a question, she asked "do you want to write it on that whiteboard?" and i was like..errz...ok
so i started writing and explaining my train of thoughts, and asking her questions along the way...my heart was pounding really fast...after all, you're presenting material to your supervisor!!!! It was like a lecture....and of course, being a perfectionist, i didnt want to appear that i didnt know my content well..so i went really technical into my discussion...she liked it....
along the way, she would ask "why did you do that?" or "what's the rationale?".... to top things up, she would deliberately make mistakes in her writings and i would have to pick it up and she would said "good", and i would ask "you mean that was deliberate to test me?"..and she would say with a big smile "yes!"
12:45pm. Meeting was over. Before i left, she said "you did very well! much better when my supervisor did that with me the 1st time!"
now i know...my meetings with my supervisor is going to be a high stress level affair from now on.....
but honestly, i kinda found it fun and challenging...battle of the brains!
