It's like leaving my baby ALL ALONE

So, I've finally been left to hold the reins alone for a week and I won't lie, it's terribly stressful. But I think so far I'm doing okay. There's just many things to learn and I'm lucky to have so many people to help me. But I really think an area I definitely brush up on is how to handle people and their emotions better. Think on your feet!

Much of the week was spent interacting with my minions as well. They really are nice boys and once I've gotten them to like me and treat me as a friend, they're actually very willing to help me and do my work. But to be very honest, they are so muddle headed sometimes I feel like my eyelids are going onto overdrive with the amount of eye-rolling I have to do. I really think they switch off their brains or are just not very smart. Some of the things they ask me I'm like........right.

So anyway I'll be away on course for 3 weeks and before I left I wrote this shit-ass long email detailing everything they need to do and every step of it. OMG. I can write my on IM. But I'm just so terrified while on course I get phone calls saying my branch is in a mess and my minions have created a big mess. Gaaaah, so worried right now.
