Starting out on the right foot…

Okay, Guys, since I feel a bit like we need to refocus, I’m going to “put it out there”…

I would like to start out by apologizing for any hard feelings my comments may have caused.  It is NEVER my intent to hurt feelings. I would also like to apologize for any pressure that teammates may feel I place on them.  My intent is to always alleviate pressure, not to inflict it.  And, finally, I would like to apologize for anything that may seem like I’m stealing thunder.  Understand, please, that my goals are for the successful completion of this program as a TEAM.  You will NEVER hear me say “I did all the work”, I don’t look at it that way.  Anything I contribute is for the team’s success, not my own.

That being said, I think some things about me need to be understood by the rest of you.  I live in a technology world.  It may seem nicer to make a phone call, but I usually do not have time to have a conversation.  So, I send emails.  I can reply to an email while I’m multitasking (read getting other things done…).  I do  not expect my emails to be answered immediately.  I don’t necessarily expect them to be answered at all.  If there’s a question in them, however, drop me a line and let me know what you think…  AS TIME PERMITS, of course.  Also, don’t forget, we have this forum available for us to post rants.  And, answer them too.  In an unemotional way.  Which is nice cause it can take the stress out of it.  That’s what I’m doing right now.  Finally…  I’m an overacheiver.  I understand that not everyone is.  But use that to your advantage.  Don’t look at it as a challenge to all to become one.  It’s not.  Instead, try to find ways to channel my energy into a mutually productive force.  Thanks!  I feel quite a bit better now.
