Firstly, I believe I am very allergic to this state. To the point that during my travels back to this state I began to have an allergic reaction. Now, I'm not actually sure what started this reaction, but I didn't have near enough tissues (one would have been at least a start). I am now completely stuffed up, and the ear I couldn't get to pop on the plane (or the rest of the night) is now stuffed up as well.
On to a story I meant to tell you a few days ago.
I made someone cry the other day. It began to put into perspective the amount of power I didn't have any idea I held over the employees. I realize now that there was nothing I could have done, and she was close to walking out on her job anyway. Being the straw on the back of the proverbial horse is not an easy position. I told her to "stop asking questions and just get it done." Which apparently equated to me speaking to her like a dog. Whatever my tone of voice may have been any sort of "talking down to her" was completely unintentional, but she wouldn't let me apologize, nor would she accept any sort of apology when I managed to get her in the office.
She is a hard worker, and I hope that she finds something that better fits her personality as threatening a boss with quitting shows that you are not fit for the job you've chosen. She did not threaten me...she simply quit on me, but she did threaten one of the other managers.
That is all of it. As far as I know.
