Interviews are enough to take everything out of me...
Work is going to be the death of me. We're working on back-filling a girl who got promoted and the interview portion of this expedition is going to make me completely crazy. My boss and my peer do not see all that eye-to-eye and so they have very different opinions of what's up with our needs regarding resources and. UGH. I'm so bored of being the middle-man, ya'll. So bored of it.
Meanwhile, one of my guys emailed me today and all it said was "I'm losing it". I called him over and he sat down in my guest chair for a minute, then sighed, put his elbows on his knees, his face in his hands and started to cry. He's having major issues with his spouse, and has temporarily (at least) moved out of their house and he's just. Ugh. So sad. I don't even... There's not a damn thing I can say or do to help him - and as the manager one of the things I dislike the most is feeling like my hands are tied. I mostly just sat there and listened to him talk and patted him a few times and reminded him not to put the cart before the horse - he and the wife haven't even really talked it out yet, but. Poor guy - broke my heart!
Easter was very nice. It's been refreshing to have a family get together where there are no arguments or fights!!! Looks like my dad's big life change is making some very positive changes, which is nice to see. I hope he sees it - because it's not like I can exactly TELL him that he's making huge headway without sounding condescending, but. Yeah. Very nice.
Meanwhile, I continue to work my way through the 2 most recent Gabaldon books - I'm now about 3 chapters in to An Echo in the Bone, which... So far it's okay, but. Let's focus on the main characters, yo. I'm just sayin'.
And now I'm gonna go do that - continue to listen, and work on my stitchery. :)
