So very true. I turned down a request to serve in an interim leadership role in my department. I don’t want direct reports. People management is not my interest or strength. I like being a worker bee with a reasonable-ish workload that generally allows me to forget about work at 5:00 pm through 8:00 am the next day. Leadership roles are challenging but very rewarding if that’s one’s strength.

Is that a lead like toddlers wear??
Not at peak fitness, or a drama llama, we can decide.
Those are no toddler reins, they are from my S&M kit.
It's so someone can stand behind holding on them whilst they try to run away. It's his practice for when he meets us.
At my old job I applied for a management position that I didn't really want because everybody kept telling me I should (and I was actually already kind of managing a team against my will and for much less money anyway).
Had a major panic in the interview and basically just rambled on and on while thinking I don't know what I'm going to do if I get it because I'd hate it so much.
Didn't get the job and felt simultaneously massively relieved and also like a total failure as I couldn't even get the job I was already doing about 90% of.
Then my work bestie/crush/it's complicated kicked off and told about 3 layers of management they were morons for not promoting me
Anyway, point is, management's not for everyone. You have to want it.

The best thing to do with good advice is pass it on.
If bae's willing to take it rectally then that's definitely an option
I mean I love you, and you’re so right but bleeping hell

He was on the winning team too.

How tight were these from the front!? Asking for a friend.
My coworker wants me to fill out a test on-boarding form for him with a made up person. He uses his fav 
players' names all the time for this kind of thing, but if I do that, I don't want him to stumble onto anything if he googles bae's name. 
So now we have HK as the new Athletic Director in Parks & Rec (not my real dept) and I'm his manager and he starts Monday. Lol, just got an Outlook notif for it too.

But seriously, I used to manage a team of 12-16 AND have to do the actual technical work. Now I just manage myself and even though I took a huge pay cut when I blew up my life and quit that management role and toxic cesspool of an employer, my sanity and happiness are worth it.

Sometimes my tattle thread gets very muddled so it reads a certain way, then I post something, then go back a few pages then all of these posts I didn’t see before appear.
Totes confusing. Must be difficult for bae to navigate here.
half a bottle of prosecco down whoop
