Thank you for the legitimate reply, and everyone else for putting me in my place. I sometimes forget I am still not done learning, and often forget the hardest lessons are learned through time and listening. I still feel in my heart I want this.. but only time will tell. Until then, I will listen and learn from those around me, and on here as long as I am allowed. Thank you, again.
Honestly, humility and an even-temperament will get you further than being a hot head or gung ho.
I may be different, but a
principle-centered negotiator has my respect versus some idiot acting tough in front of others.
When I was a center manager, I had real a-hole Stewards that just wanted to fight and they really ended up with nothing.
I also had a couple of guys that wanted to "work together" for the betterment of everyone (we were remotely located), and things strating clicking (at least at our local level).
I think they thought they were manipulating me, and that's OK. I just needed a certain amount of work to be done with minimal issues from the habitual crap stirrers.
Learn the Contract and don't waste countless hours talking about someone's non-issue....it will work against you.
Just my $0.02
