Take two oreos and call me in the morning

I seem to remember a Weird Al song dedicated to that principle... The White Stuff. Whatever it was about the oreos, all I know is I ate a couple and was out like a light yesterday. It had been a long day and week. Somehow I feel more like myself. At least somewhat... I still feel a bit like I am walking on eggshells.

If you are a bit confused, join the club. Last week I was told by someone that I was half the reason that they were leaving. Then they alluded to that they weren't the only ones looking for a way out. Talk about feeling like being hit by a 2x4. I had thought I was doing such a good job.

So I spent most of the week(this and last) doubting myself big time. I have asked my staff to do an evaluation of me. It isn't a requirement but "I can't fix what I am doing wrong if I don't know it is wrong". That is what I have been telling all of them.

I also haven't told anyone this with the except of God. He has been hearing a lot of this. It has been really tough. I keep trying to convince myself that this is a good thing and that I will learn a lot from this. But it hurts.

Some lessons are.

Good day and learning is a good thing.

It may well be true that you can't please all the people all the time, but if you're like me, and have a thin skin, then it hurts a lot to know that the odd person doesn't like some things you do.

It can be hard to accept that probably means that most people actually do like most things you do.

Sympathy.

Here's an unbiased evaluation:
You are a good person.
You are right.
They are wrong.
Screw 'em!

I think your brother is right... except for the zombie thing. I'm not sure why he was checking out their nether regions, but the stink may be the air of arrogance that swirls around them.
