I almost think my boss has too much confidence in me - she just trusts that I will figure shit out, and does not get it that when I ask for help, I frickin' want help. I don't quite know how to get it across to her except to ask.

Andi, that's so frustrating. Because it comes across as confidence in you, but in actuality it's poor management. She's still your boss and needs to help you when you ask for it.

I hope lunch and the movie made up for your frustrating start to the day.

We ARE Groot.

Yeah, I think to some extent, bosslady is also overwhelmed learning her new job. There are aspects of which duties are hers and which are mine that she is fuzzy on. When she was learning the lower-level management job, I was able to teach her a lot about policies and procedures that I knew from the direct care end of things. Naturally you learn what you have to about your own job then to some extent you can see what your boss is doing and you know what you need them to do in order to be able to do your stuff. So when you get a new boss, if they are willing to listen, you can teach them. But I can't help her now that she has taken a step up because I have not been in my job long enough to know the corresponding layers.

I fell while hiking and broke my leg rather badly just above the ankle. I'm in a hospital in Iceland waiting for surgery. I hurt and I'm scared and I'm nauseated from the pain meds and I want to go home. I've been a trooper but I'm exhausted and in pain and my roommate keeps turning her fucking tv up. And I'm hot.

Oh, Zen! Thank god you have the internet! We are here for you, trooper.

Oh, no!

oh no!! Lots of healing~ma to you

Oh, Zen! I have a work colleague from Iceland, with family/friends there if you'd like me to check and see if any of them are close to you if you need anything.

Oh zen!! That sucks so bad!! I'm so glad you have Internet though!

Oh jeez! I hope things go as smoothly as can be from here on.

Oh no, Zen! Quick healing vibes to you!
