Good afternoon. I’m home from work with O who has strep. I’m trying to convince him to go to the walk in clinic now so i can see if i also have it.
Work is stressing me out. It’s hard managing people. Does anyone else here manage people? Maybe i can PM you for advice.

Congrats cagoldi! The pay raise could help with your worries about the financial burden of three kids.

I have to take Ace back in to see the vet tomorrow morning. He is continuing to lose weight and has started vomiting again. So I'll need to get his levels tested and rule out there isn't something else causing this other than his thyroid issue.

Congrats yummeecookee and Mr. cagoldi! snoopmommymom I've supervised people in the past and I said never again. I don't like babysitting adults who shouldn't need babysitting. So I feel your pain and am sorry you're dealing with stress. I'm avoiding work because I have a boring report to work on and an even more boring essay test to work on. Next weekend I have to work out of town. I found out one of my buddies is going too. At first I planned on carpooling with him, but found out he plans to leave way earlier than I do on Friday. I'm contemplating backing out of going with him. I don't want to get there early. There will be nothing for us to do Friday other than see our space and make sure our computers work. They don't have any lodging for us so I'll probably literally have to sleep on the floor of my office--which means no private space and no one leaving me alone until everyone leaves the building at night so that makes getting there early even worse.

Awesome news, cagoldi! That's got to help with Baby P coming!! I'm sorry about Ace, klong11. I've managed people in the past, snoopmommymom. I share a lot of inthekitty's thoughts. My new position is so warped and product management will be more like project management, which may actually be harder when you're not directly managing the people working on the product you own. My point being that work is annoying, haha.

Hooray for bonuses and raises yummeecookee cagoldi !! 🎉 chrisy01 I’m a little better today. I was actually able to get some homework done. Hopefully the worst is over of this anxiety. I can’t get in for an appointment for a month so I started taking a left over bottle of wellbutrin I have. That’s what I’m going to ask for a script for anyways .

snoopmommymom I supervised my old Discharge planning and appeals team and basically inthekitty captured my thoughts. I don't care to do it again. My sympathies, managing people is hard.

Woof.
Grandma is throwing up every five minutes so they transferred her out of rehab and back to the hospital. Sounds like she needs another surgery. I'm glad my mom is going to get there Saturday.

snoopmommymom I manage people and a program. But it sucks...and I struggle with being authoritative. I’m great with kids, but not adults. And to make matters worse, I was friends with half my staff before I was their supervisor. Making it even harder.

@and to make matters worse, I was friends with half my staff before I was their supervisor. Making it even harder. This was me when I managed the design team; I was a designer first before I was promoted. That made it tough; I think there was also a bit of ill will that I got the job over others who were older and had been there longer (I was the only one that was considered for the position—the other candidates were from outside). It all worked out and the team was really successful, but I lost a couple “friends” as a by-product.

Morning girls! Weird day today. I had the ‘formal talk’ this morning about salary, workdays, do’s and don’ts etc. for the new job and then raced to my normal work to celebrate my 12.5 anniversary. I got cake, flowers a speech and 25% of my salary before tax bonus. Talking about dreams, I had one last night about peachsmama (who looked like April from greys...) she had a stopover in Amsterdam and I took a day of work to meet for coffee!

WWN13 do?
I'm trying to decide whether to stay home with the kids tomorrow or send them to daycare. H is snotty (like always) and has no fever today. M has a bit of a cough and no fever today. Would you send them or keep them home one more day?
