It's not surprising. You've been very distracted all morning.

这不是有晋升机会吗，I wonder if I'll get it。

Well, you work hard. I'm sure a promotion is on the cards.

It's on the cards?! But I haven't been paying much attention to them! Which cards?

No, it's not actually written on any cards. It's just an expression. In British English, we say something 'is ON the cards' - or 'IN the cards' in American English - when we mean that something is likely to happen.

So you mean that it's possible and even likely that I'll get a promotion because I work hard?

Yes. Here are some examples of how this expression is used.
