Under Pressure
First, the good news. Tonight I got my Advanced Toastmaster Bronze Award. This means I've done 20 speeches in front of my club. Damn, when you put it like that...pour me a glass of champagne. Woot!
Second, I'm feeling the pressure at work. This is my first time being a manager and I'm kind of struggling with the appropriate balance between authority and buddy. I don't want to be a micromanaging on-you-every-minute badgering type, but I'm afraid I've taken the arm's length approach to management too far. I think one of my employees is taking advantage of my laid back style. I had to say something today. It wasn't in-you-face, but I hope I made my point. If I didn't, I'll have to start getting on her tail. Dammit. Dammit, dammit. Last thing I wanted.
Then I'm afraid something's brewing in the upper management. I almost hope it blows so I can say some stuff I've been waiting to say. I just have a bad feeling it's going to blow tomorrow and I really didn't want to have to be a bitch on my birthday. *sigh*
