I wish it were Sunday... :(
So back at work today - but some good news! We have a new account coming in - a giant account - an all consuming account - a very important account - and I will be part of the account team! Yippee! This account is being led by my former boss (from prior job) and current friend who knows and understands my struggles here. She will be great to work with- helpful and a good communicator. She started here just 6 weeks ahead of me and is a big part of the reason I came here. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it if I end up on her team when this all fleshes out. (she doesn't have a team yet but will soon - she was hired in as a senior manager and has been training on the systems and getting ready to lead a team.)
My current manager is a nice guy, but I doubt he's had any training in how to manage/mentor/motivate. He constantly just does things himself cause it's easier than showing me how to do it. So how am I ever going to learn? Just today he did some things that are on my white board as to-do's that he had asked me last week to wait on. Once things were set for them to run instead of giving me the go ahead he just did them - and DIDN'T TELL ME! ARGH
So yep I'm excited at the prospect of working with my old boss again! She was fantastic at managing/motivating/mentoring!

Here's hoping you end up on her team. :)
Total Monday here- complete with rain, gray sky and pissiness abound in the office. :)
Amen to that! No more being watched! She understands that I am a hard worker and will do anything to get a job done and that when there is downtime it's okay to play a little. She was a great boss and I'd love to work with her again. Wonder how to phrase that to the VP without creating problems with my current boss (who is after all a nice guy)?
