Being a Manager

I've been at the job for about a month now, and I love love love it. Except, now that I'm a manager, it's a little weird. I guess I should be learning to delegate and let other people help me, but I'm so used to doing everything for myself that I can't let it go. Some would call that being a control freak, and to an extent I would agree with that, but I like to know that whatever it is is done and done correctly. Whatever. It's fun. It's new. I like it.

I have been so busy in the last few weeks, time has just flown by. I have accomplished more in a month than I did in a year at the last place. WTF? It's already Thursday! There are some days where 5 o'clock comes so quickly, I almost don't want to go home. That's strange. When I first started this job, I wondered if I could get used to working a full day again. I mean, for the last year, I came in to work at 9:30-ish and left by 4 every day. If I left at 4:30, I worked a long day. Hell, I left at 3:30 sometimes. There was simply nothing better for me to do, so why sit there and be bored? Even the Internet bored me after a while. That's sad.

But it's working out well. I have been leaving between 5 and 5:30, and it's all OK, I'm alive, I'm not bleeding, the Earth is still spinning... I got lazy, really lazy, and I hate being lazy at work. It's just not fun. This is the best move I've made in years, on a par with moving into the city last year.

I was silly enough to write this at 4:03 PM
