Okay. So I'm a bit overwhelmed. There's my weekend "abuser" revelation. Then, there's the maternal touch work. I have T tomorrow. And I truly don't have a choice with my job. I'm going to be group home manager, QP, and Program Development Coordinator.

Admittedly, my boss talked to me for 3 hours trying to make me feel better about it (and make his own job easier). He actually doesn't see me doing it longer than 6 months, then I should be back to program development. He did gave me some positive feedback; i.e. learned quickly, completed many projects, handled the uncertainty of the position, helped develop the program. Then the one major area of weakness: I am not a people person. He tried to lighten it a bit by saying, "If human services lost the human component, it would be so much easier wouldn't it?" I just don't know how to learn how to deal with people. H says practice. How in the heck do you practice people skills?
