• Entry 229: Appreciation and Responsibility

  First off I want to sincerely thank all the kind words, the willingness to listen, and just general overall support that my good friends have given me the last two weeks. A super shiny star for that awesome person who stayed up listening to my rants until the wee hours last night. I owe you a steak dinner for sure.

  Now that the craziness has subsided I'm really excited about the coming new responsibilities. I did the whole "expectations" talk with one of my new direct reports. I think I have this pretty well structured now, so that its closer to the ideal type of conversation I want when establishing a manager/report relationship. Want things to start off on the right foot and have a plan develop. So that will be my new focus in the near future. To really kick ass at work and my new expanded role.

  Even if I don't have the greatest of luck with relationships right now, at least I can rock in what I know I'm good at. Doing my job. And I like it too. I'm also going to look to develop better habits now. So please be supportive. Sticking with my 2009 theme. Strong and Sensible. One horrible character flaw of mine is that I'm late to the game with thing too often. Gotta get on that.
