Well it appears that we'll likely be centralizing a command center. Now I get to play upper management, middle management, office management and office admin. YAY!
You have got to love small companies right?
I managed to get through 4 hours of meetings and 20 hours of interviews with 5 hours of sleep over a 29 hour stretch. Lots of good fun there.

Officially an "executive". What's that mean? Too much fucking work for what I get paid. My department isn't small enough to micro-manage, and not quite large enough to hire middle management, so I've compromised and brought in pseudo-management.
Either way, kill me, plz.

Thank you for the add !

Funny how we always get this glamorous vision of the executives... wait no, that was in the Mafalda comic books ages ago. Still, It's not all as cool as it seems sometimes from the outside is it.
Stress
Christmas always gets me down. Disadvantages of being a loner I guess.

So I quit smoking.
1 week later I'm smoking again. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. ._.
Management sounds cushy until you end up planted in a high level managment position with employees who don't want to be cooperative, with a tight budget, and with no experience.
Ah beautiful stress. I have a perpetual knot of muscles at the base of my neck...

Management SUCKS - that's why I"m still technical despite being an old fart.
GL with it tho - it can be really rewarding (I guess) once you get over the employees and your customers and your vendors and all the crap you gotta put up with

rodan:

Mwuhahahahahaha!
That was the single hardest, longest, most grueling, intense wsg I've ever been in. About 40 minutes in the score was 2 alliance, 0 horde. Full twink team, sans a 36 hunter that got thrown into it, moving in packs and dominating us.
Finally, they had our flag going to their base on a druid and we thought it was over. Beefer, luckily, grabbed...

Agh! I forgot one of WHT's many many rules and probably got my own stupid ass banned. Just great.

oopsie?
Well... ermm.... yeah, 1 tech is about to get canned. It's almost like they can sense it the instant I decide to fire them.
The moment I've made up my mind that they're a lazy, good-for-nothing pile of dead weight, they get ahold of me and ask if they're doing ok.
Well look man, 6 hours into a shift and you've handled 6 tickets? No,...

They used it to clean up - unfortunately it's a light duty mop and what they cleaned up is anything but light duty stuff.
Sigh.
For what you do interviewing's probably gonna be a constant thing - not as bad as fast food but probably close.

I sacked my two assistants today. Bitches think they're in school or something, not showing up and making up excuses. That was definitely a high for me today.
Sheeet. Does my job make you sad or what
