The Branch Boss of December

[kybearfuzz]

Today was the first day I was the branch director. I'll be the acting branch director for the month of December. I don't think I stopped moving all day. While it makes the day move faster, it's getting increasingly difficult to get out of the office on time. Worst of all, I don't seem to have to check LJ or anything else.

I'm learning that one of the big jobs of being the boss is that you have to assess conflicts and discern if there is any one side at fault. I'm discovering that each side appears to carry some level of fault.

I did manage to squeeze in a showing of Tangled over the weekend. The Disney version of the story of Rapunzel, it was actually a very cute movie, not overdone, but very humorous in parts and sentimental in others. Keep your eye open for the cupid, that's all I'm saying.

Sadly, not much else to report. Very busy. Very tired.

Look at you, moving up the (temporary) ranks!

I really did enjoy Tangled. It was a lot of fun. I liked Rapunzel's personality...she was spunky and shy at the same time.

You would be less busy if you took vacation time and visited Chicago. :P

Is this rotation of responsibilities typical for your employer? I'm sure you'll do a splendid job!

I enjoyed Tangled immensely! I haven't been able to do much other than work since because of illness, but I seemed to have turned a corner today!

Hope you'll have time to be in the holiday spirit, perhaps create a Santa superhero? :)

HUGS!

" I'm discovering that each side appears to carry some level of fault.

You ARE a fast learner! The trick is in making each side find that level of fault without them feeling like they're being blasted. Another is in pointing out and breaking behavior patterns that perpetuate conflicts. Easier said than done.

Work that Southern Charm, honey!

I hope to get to see Tangled sometime soon.

In the meantime, I see a very cute Cupid in the above photo. Just sayin'.

I wanna be bad and get sent to your office.

Being a diplomat can be demanding, but it's good brain exercise. Think of yourself as Team America and the squabblers as Kim Jong Il. ;)

busy is good, but don't let it wear you out.
