I relax by watching films and getting drunk .... I need to relax every night ... honest.

I frequently watch films, but rarely get drunk. Oh, when undergrad at university I drank a bit too much at times, especially at student weekend houseparties or when watching football games, but these days not so much. Have to have a clear head for work, or they will replace me with someone that does. And hair-of-the-dog never worked for me the next day after a binge. :pac:

Yeah. I've been a fan for a few years now, I quite like the genre. Forget how I first happened upon them though.

When I was 17 I moved into the pub I worked in... at 19 I ended up running the place while the owners had a child and all the stuff that goes with.
Drinking was a big part of it and it is a habit I have yet to kick ... 20 years later ..

Well, I'm a faculty brat, and now live in an Ivory Tower due to that parental influence, so having a clear head once in awhile is expected in that occupational milieu. :pac:

I have managed to make a pretty good career for myself, when they sold the pub and made me jobless and homeless in the same day I went on to factory work because that was all that was available at the time... became a manager when I was 28 and moved upwards ever since.... although some days I question myself as to why I do it.

Methinks we all question our career tracks. When wee playing on the carpet while my Da worked in his study, I thought it cool to be faculty someday, now not so much. Once in a great while a lab discovery can turn me on, but most of the time collecting data and crunching numbers is day-to-day boredom.

I am a people person, I like to manage people to get the best out of them. ..... but some days the pure stupidity of some of my staff baffles me, I seriously wonder how they are able to dress themselves.

Well, on some days I'm the Silly Swannie at work, so if you managed me, you might be getting on my case too, especially after I've broken some of the China.

I leave my silly at home when I go to work ... I am pretty sure I would lose my job instantly if I behaved like I do out of work ...

Managers have to manage in the Real World. They have a mission, and monthly, quarterly, and annual goals and objectives, often with associted bonuses and profit sharing incentives.

I'm just a Research Associate on an Ivory Tower team that reports to a PI, who really isn't a manager per se, and is very hands-off and does not try to micro-manage me. I don't punch a clock, rather am project driven, working around-the-clock to finish my part before handing off to another team member. After pulling all-nighters and handling off, I watch the grass grow, which might make a private-sector-for-profit manager go crazy on me! Oh well... :pac:

I have often been asked what I would deem myself to be a good manager... my response is always been .."To make myself redundant, to empower my team enough to make it unnecessary for me to be there" ... That gets frowned upon by the ones who think that being a manager is all about being the one in charge, the one people have to turn to.
