Thank you all.  I guess my main worry is that if I don't "shape up" soon I'll be out, even though we are planning ahead, for Christmas, next year etc.  I have never got that personal with any boss and don't discuss my personal life with them in return.  I know from previous postings that CG has mentioned her "personal"  involvement and yes while that is good and keeping on side, maybe I'm more of a team player than a personal assistant.

The point is this has really knocked me for 6 and I am constantly watching my back, trying not to be over friendly with other colleagues - but to be honest it's too late.  Everyone now knows my personality and how I interact.  I think perhaps my bosses see that and are not happy they are not getting the attention they previously got.

I had to laugh at Rain's comments - no I don't work in a monastry but I am not your typical 39 year old - yes 39 last month!  I am young and single and have more of a young outlook and attitude than most people my age.  Don't get me wrong I dress appropriately for my age and am professional but my attitude is not typical of those my age.

PS.  Probationary period is 3 months which is why they felt the need for a review half way through.  I lunched with 4 guys today so not sure how well that even went down!
