> Awww 10der, I wish you were my supervisor!!!
Yeah....but realistically...we might both get busted for talking too much....:-)

> My boss right now seems okay. I had a 40 minute mtg with her today and we didn't finish so we will continue tomorrow. She was just making clear all my responsibilities and expectations b/c there is a 90 day evaluation period for all new employees. She was saying all this stuff and I was nodding and being professional and unphased, while inside I was going "EEEEEEEEK!!!!"Still sounds completely normal to me. Probably she is trying to impress certain things upon you, to see how you respond to serious responsibilities and high expectations, not in a creepy, "mind games," sort of way, just because it's part of her job to do that. That's something I can't do - not well, anyway. I tend to downplay stuff, and reassure folks they'll do great, that things aren't too hard, and I'll be there to help them, etc. Been told that's too touchy-feely, but...oh, well, it's my way...
> My boyfriend has assured me that I probably will make a mistake and the world will go on. Hmmm.
Ahh...a very wise man, that one. I do believe I like him. You should probably keep him ;-)
