Meeting tomorrow. Maybe two, maybe four. I did not realize this position would entail leadership to this extent. It is what I need... it is just scary.
You'll do fine. I hate managerial meetings and corporate dog and pony shows too.

It has now been proven that margaritas change a persons way of thinking about every night of the week and probably everyday too.. How can someone not remember how they acted 2 days ago and forget that you are not speaking to them anymore.. I think I want to laugh until I fall on the floor.. seriously! :lol:
No.. I don't think he changed his mind. I think all I had to do was mention the word "drunk" and then he said where are we going to get drunk at? He sent me a picture of him drinking a margarita. I think that is what's wrong with his way of thinking.. it's the alcohol doing all of the talking and he can't function right.
Was he drinking when he originally hurt your feelings? He sounds confused, or maybe he doesn't remember he said it? Still, anyone willing to play with your feelings like that probably not worth your time! You're too good for him!
He was drinking, because he had invited me to come have a drink with him that evening. I think he may have some problems and he is using alcohol to deal with them. I could be wrong.. I don't know. I really don't like alcohol taking over someones feelings like that. I am not one to go out 7 days a week to get drunk. I have no time and a lot more responsibility then he does. No, I don't like the games either alcohol or not. Lies and alcohol are what broke me and my best friend apart.. she was the one who was drunk.
You sound like you have your head screwed on straight. Proud of you!

I am in the same boat, dottie mg:
It does get easier right?
Pony show, totally what it feels like. OK... it's your turn to fake laugh in 3... 2... 1... ACTION... OK fake laugh again, coming up... it's coming... and... NOW. Awkward side glances at other people in the meeting. Your eyes meet and are instantly repelled because it is transparent through their forced smiles that they, too, are cringing on the inside. Or maybe it's just me who is the poor sport, projecting.
We had just such a meeting today as soon as we came on-shift. All about company liability and work related accidents. Luckily the girl giving the slide show wasn't just a pencil pushin robot with a laser pointer. I had to do a fair amount of speaking concerning safety around heavy machinery and how it pertains to my crew and our section of the freak show, er uh... i mean our section of the shop. Then luckily it was another supervisors turn. It sucks but we persevere and overcome. Oh, by the way, I'm proud of ya
