Walking on eggshells...
Hmm... I wonder what my team thinks of me?
Seems like every time my new developers ask me questions, they always preface it with: "Excuse me Steve? Sorry to bother you, but I have a question..."
Do I seem that intimidating or mean? =( I know that I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve, so if I'm stressed/busy (which is usually the case...) I tend to look... intense? The last few weeks have been really busy, and that sometimes manifests in terse, impatient responses from me.
Man... now I feel kinda bad. I don't want my team to feel intimidated by me, or feel that they have to be super polite/respectful when interacting with me! Then again, I notice that it's only certain individuals that I'm less patient with... those with a history of "stupid/lazy" problems and unable (or unwilling) to resolve them on their own...
I know... I need to pray for more grace and patience... =)
But on the flip side, maybe it'll help to cut down on the foot traffic and/or the stupid questions! Hahaha... I know, I'm horrible! =P
