I think I may be the worst supervisor ever. I hate being responsible for other people's work, their routine, and in many ways, their happiness with their job. I tend to ignore too many problems hoping that they will just go away. Problem is... sometimes they do go away. But when they don't they've then had a chance to fester just a little too long.

Ummmm... I think if you ignor problems a lot of them *do* go away! At least some people are adult enough, and responsible enough to deal with their own issues.

Of course, the people who let 'em fester... well... those are the people you'd just as soon shoot and put out of your misery anyway!

Funny.... just after I posted that supervisory ramble I sat back down in the floor to go through more packs of photos. The very next one was a Christmas party from 2 jobs ago. But, the party I went to was 2 years after I moved on. They still invite me to their stuff like that... and everyone *loves* it when I just drop in. Which I do a couple of times a year. Even my old manager always asks when I'm comin' back to work for 'em. And the people who were in my group always whisper that they want me back cause of whatever drama is going on in the department. LOL

But, I don't wanna do that again. Design work - yeah, I'd like to go back to that at some point... maybe soon. But, not in a supervisory position.
