My Weekend in Review
- Saturday = nothing
- Sunday = nothing + some shopping (I also got roped into getting an AMEX with no fees for the first two years… can’t hurt to try now?)
- Monday = Domestic Duties (very little of), Beer (relative quantities of), Harbour (nice views of)

Took the time to install a Comment SPAM filtering system after spending one too many evenings going through back-posts to delete old ‘penis enlargement’ comments amongst legit posts. Feel more nerdy now which is always good.

Life is good but have to learn to take some steps back professionally and manage staff, manage expecatations and manage myself. I’ve caused a bit of damage in the past weeks when i’ve become upset at people for not getting their act together and getting me results.
Of course, one wins more battles with honey than with vinegar. My question to you all is: do you piss people off and get results or be easy-going with people and take the work on board.
Some might say you have to learn to manage the staff to give you the results. Entirely possible I think.
However, and in my favour, I don’t like when people don’t contact me directly about concerns they may have about my performance. Or worse still, bitch about me, get feedback from me (in the form of an apology) and then continue to whinge about me. Now that just irks me. But, with life going as well as it is at this point, i’m not about to lose karma points and get upset.
