He was probably disappointed...
Part of my "getting past things" process this weekend was realizing I was....ummm....well....what you might consider a bit "raw" in my reaction during the meeting with my boss.
And truth be told - I felt kinda bad about that.
So, I sent him an email very early Saturday morning. Here's the opening paragraph:
"First and foremost I’d like to apologize if I was in any way out of line during our discussion on Thursday. In my defense I was completely taken by surprise and didn’t have time to prepare. I’m just comfortable enough with you that I reacted without any filter, and for that I am sorry. Your position in the company as well as who you are dictates that you deserve better than that."
I then went on to list out the changes that were discussed.
His response?
"No problem. I actually thought you handled it very well."
No Problem?! Folks, I edited it a bit when I posted it here.......all that foul language on the website and all. No problem?!?
But the first thing I thought of was....if he thought that was "handling it well", WTF did he expect me to do? THAT should probably be my concern......
I might need to start thinkin' about this whole "reputation" thing. AND, with a new VP movin' in to cover this area (IOW - new boss) I'm just wondering how he'll explain me to them???

He tells you how he sees it. He'll tell you what can and can't be done. If you make a really bad decision, he'll call you an idiot and prove to you why you are. Other than that if you leave him alone he's extremely effective and efficient in his position."
I think that is almost exactly what they told my new boss about me when they transfered me to her.
