I often wonder if it is people's TRUE colours coming through or if they just feel the need to 'beat their chests' and play the big 'I am' when they have been drinking. You know you can handle the centre on your own, you've proved yourself to YOU over and over again....and if you really think about it, the only person that really matters is YOU! Huggs sis.  |

You are right LSR Sis..I CAN and WILL handle the center by myself! I am actually quite disgusted by the performances some of these people put on Saturday night. It would be interesting to have a video camera on site and play it back for them so they can see how utterly pathetic they were acting. I am sad the other Manager is leaving as well, but you know what? I HAVE been taking care of a great deal of things in my center for the past year..If my director and the executives feel that this center can run with one Manager, then I feel confident as well.  |

I'm sorry that you didn't have a nice night. But sometimes, when alcohol is involved we say and do things we really regret. We don't necessarily mean them to be. So go into work with the attitude that they must be feeling very embarrased and uncomfortable. Have a great day at work, full of pride and confidence.  |

Thank you Italian Princess. I know I can do it!! I am not afraid to admit that the thought of it makes me very nervous and I am picturing the long hours I have ahead of me, but I feel good that my Director is confident in my ability to handle things on my own. |

This is something I have never understood to be honest. I am the same when I am "buzzed" on alcohol or when I was high on pot (many years ago). I don't understand the concept of people changing into "different" people because I have always been me. Perhaps It's just the quirk I have about always being "Me" no matter where I go or who I am with.  |

Typo Demon, I think alcohol breaks down inhibitions in some. I know that at work these people have alot on their plates and because I am the boss they tend to choose their words a little more carefully around me. I guess the alcohol helped them to "let loose" so to speak and not stop and think before they opened their mouths. I purposely chose not to drink much because I AM the boss and I need to ensure that I am conducting myself appropriately even outside of work at these types of functions. I also was the first to leave the party because I felt that I needed to leave before I said something I may regret. |

Most likely everyone will forget it even happened by the time you go back to work. I would just pretend nothing has changed unless someone brings it up.  |

I have been the boss at most of the company functions I attended (with Papa John's), now keep in mind alcohol was served to those 21 and older which was pretty much the drivers and management, but I can't excuse that as a reason for blame the boss for lack of inhibitions or careless speech. If you have something to say, speak up at work. |

Typo, but remember you said YOU don't change. The same can't be said for everybody. There are people that change 100% when they are drinking, whether it be..they are normally quiet, but while drinking they are talkative (Like my Husband), others get agressive, others are weepy, others are just plain funny. Everyone reacts differently to the affects of alcohol. It would be wonderful if everyone said what they thought..In a perfect world they would..Unfortunately we do not live in a perfect world! |

I never attended work functions, I didn't believe in socializing with people I worked with, just a policy that I believed in as I used to hear the talk about others who did attend and the talk was not always nice....  |

Most leaders, great and otherwise, are confronted at the beginning with doubt coming from new followers, especially if those followers were already friends beforehand. When a friend sees you on the same level, they like to keep it that way. Some may have a hard time following someone they once saw as an equal chum. I wouldn't take it personally; some advice I heard on here in one of those lists was when someone talks bad about you (or, in another way, has doubts about you), simply live the opposite. Actions speak louder, and the truth will come out. Let the real truth come out through your actions in daily reality rather than at some drunken party.  |

My husband and I talked about this yesterday. I will no longer attend any work functions that involved alcohol. I thought that once a friend, always a friend..I am realising that is unfortunately not always true. Kind of sad really, but I need to look at it this way..I have friends, and I have co-workers. They are co-workers and I am their boss. I have friends. I am good with that. |

Aww, girl, I am sorry to hear that this happened but ya know what, if that is really how some of them feel or think, then there is nothing really that you can do or say. But I know you and you are totally capable of doing this job with both hands tied behind your back. And it's obvious that your director feels the same way or they wouldn't be giving you that responsibility. You go into work just like it was any other day and hold up your head with that confidence that you have always had. Hey, maybe some of them are just jealous of your success but you have worked hard and long to get where you are today and I am proud to call you my friend. You take care girl and will be talking to you soon. Great big hugs from me to you!! And hey, leave the drinking for when I come to visit....LOL.....love ya lots girl......  |
