It's not that I'm hesitant to lead, as in direct and make known what's supposed to be done... it's removing people from my team... I dunno, but I'm not good at removing people from the position they volunteered for, and it's giving me a problem... and not having been able to check what needs to be checked since 21 hours ago ain't helping me today.

I just get this shadow of doubt that asks "can I do it", and then it rhetorically responds with "no you can't" when I know that I can do it, and do it well. And I hate it. :(

I would prescribe five shots of tequila and a night with a whore.

Isn't that the point of professionals, that you don't need to call them until you'd like to set up another appointment?

Scotch tastes much better after you've been drunk. (That and being drunk helps everything, but I technically learned that last week.)
