Doing alright today, albeit a little busy because I found out yesterday afternoon that I will be managing a SECOND person... who starts on Tuesday. Yes, I was made aware of this person 3 days before they start. I have NEVER managed anyone in my life, and now all of a sudden, I have TWO people to manage. I knew about the first person because I had interviewed them myself, but definitely not the second!!

Unfortunately, this second person will be working on a project that I know nothing about, so here I am, spending my weekend reading up on some articles, ebooks, etc.. This situation happened all because a manager had hired this person not too long ago and then they literally *just* left the company for another job and now their team is missing a manager, so we were "gifted" this person while that team finds a manager, and my boss was like, "well, no one on our team wants to accept the person because they are too busy with customer requests, so you are the only one right now."

On the upside, my boss did at least come up with a project, so I didn't have to do that part. I just have to continue writing up documents and reading up on things. But I also need to learn some stuff for the *other* person, because I am supposed to help them with it too!! The projects are totally unrelated.

I hope I can pull through this mess, as I never wanted to be a manager in the first place. I was already upset I had to manage one person, but now TWO and with ZERO management experience? Yeah, I am stressed. I am also worried that I will become a manager at some point, which implies lots of travel... and well, traveling triggers me really badly, so yeah... not happy.
