[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 378295, member: 3907"] Good morning everyone Sharon--sounds like you have quite a day ahead of you. I hope you are able to stop that migraine in its tracks. And I hope your parent-teacher meeting goes well. Even if there are difficult subjects to discuss, the fact that you can empathise with her and possibly offer constructive suggestions will likely go a long way in helping the situation. Enjoy the movies tonight. Tense day ahead for me. I had to have a staff member removed from my team this week. Not only has he been unproductive, but also a negative force dragging the whole team down. Fortunately, the organization has been able to reassign him (I would hate to let someone go in this economy), and I have meetings with his new boss for the transition. I hope that the meeting with D's new boss goes well -- I want it to be more of a "where can we put him that best meets his skills?" rather than a "what did he do wrong?" meeting. I also have a meeting with my new staff member to get him up to speed. He's someone I've worked with before, so I'm confident he can pick up the mess left behind, clean it up and "git 'er done". THAT can be more of a "what went wrong, and how can we fix it?" meeting, but I don't want to badmouth the predecessor there either. After work, I plan to make a giant bowl of popcorn and sit down in front of the tv with husband and Little easy child to watch Mary Poppins. It's one of our family favourites, and the children's bedtime songs all come from that movie, so it will be a treat to watch again. Have a great Friday everyone. Trinity [/QUOTE]
