Smash that preggo pussy boooooooooy.

Be humble and don't get resentful if people treat you badly, a lot of people hate the idea of someone getting ahead for that way and would like to believe it even if it isn't true. The only thing you can do is try and be honest and do your best. Seriously, it's hard to begrudge someone that acknowledges they might not be ready for the position and tries their best. Work a bit overtime for a while -- it's a small price to pay for a doubling of your salary.

In short try to act like the kind of employee that would deserve that kind of treatment.
