Leading thoughts…

I got to be the agent in charge at work tonight for several hours. this is the first time I’ve been in a management position in a while.

I dunno, to me at first its more of a burden than a gift. Its probably because I look at the responsibilities first. We had bad weather so first things was, “Okay be aware of the weather,” so I made a point to look at that on my lunch break.

Then I had a shit fit making sure everyone got their breaks, which is a pain because third shifters don’t take their breaks on time.

I like leaders who see their leadership as a responsibility to be used in a prudent and appropriate way; it should never be abused, one should take great care to swerve their constituency/ies as best as possible.

Politics are the reason I hate leading; it distracts from being a steward leader and makes it messier. Don’t get me wrong I love political games for the scheming and the effort but I hate them at the same time because it distracts from being a good leader.

Speaking of leaders I’ve read an interesting piece about our Idiot in Chief and I’ll be writing him and my congressman a letter.

And while I’m on the subject, I think we need to rename Iraq (since we’re governing it) to “New Vietnam.” It would put things in a proper perspective.
