Take it Like a Champ

I never thought that I was a soft individual, but I'm realizing that I'm finally growing a spine. I can be stubborn about things I believe, but to vocalize them is another matter. Working in project management is not something I ever saw myself doing. I can't stand egotistical or arrogant people, and now I get to butt heads with them on a nearly daily basis. And finally, now after over a year, I have the spine to tell them to smarten up and don't try to pass the blame, just fix it or make the call or whatever, just do your job.

Alternately, I also get to rub shoulders with some of the best people in this field. I'm working with good people, and the company I work for actually has a conscious, trying to do the jobs as safely as possible, following and surpassing the legislation requirements. And, I can have my act-like-a-child moments without ridicule! Just this morning I threw a (small) eraser as a fellow project manager, just because, and he took it like a champ!
