It is quite scary when…….
Someone you don’t actually live with knows you so well that they can almost read your emotions. Stuff has been going on at work this week, which I can’t really go into details about but which has resulted in me being a bit annoyed with my boss. Today she pretty much told me it was ok to be angry with her and that if I wanted to off load then that was fine. Wow I thought, I am angry actually and yes a slight rant at you will help, interesting; but weird.
I have been mentoring someone who has just come back to work after a heart attack scare, and who doesn’t get on massively well with her manager. Today I had the opportunity to see this whole situation played out when I attended a meeting between my mentee, and her manager. The very idea that some people seem to function on a tit for tat type of level (you rang me and said this, you rang me and shouted that) is quite an eye opener and made me feel glad that I have such a good relationship with my manager. What was really good about the meeting though was the fact that I actually managed to help stop these people (both adults of 50+) shouting and fighting each other in a way so unbecoming to intelligent human beings and hopefully began to make progress on helping them work through their differences.
How on earth did I make the transition from nurse to doing this? Still it makes me feel needed and that can’t be bad!
