Undermining my authority...

I got a raise and promotion at work a few weeks back. I dunno, I didn't feel like writing about it. I was offered the promotion late last year and I said, "No." I wasn't sure if I wanted to take a managerial role right after JT was born. I liked being a developer and working standard hours. I could work standard hours as a manager as well, but I feel I need to be more involved which means working from home most nights. At least for now, I am still leaving at 4:50.

On Friday we were having a staff meeting. The meeting was nearing the end and we decided to throw an orange around the conference room. We were all kind of lobbing the orange around nothing serious. I decided to take a drink of my gatorade when my co-worker, now employee chucks the orange at me.

The orange hits my cup, which is full of juice, the juice flies back and sprays me in the face and then the orange continues on and hits me. Nice. Nothing like being the boss and having staff throw fruit at you, while smelling like citrus punch the rest of the afternoon! Grrr.
