So it's a little bit scary. I've always been able to pretty much coast in my positions. I definitely would work hard for a while, but then I'd have periods of slackness. My new manager (to his credit), has not really built an environment where you can not give less than 100% and still succeed. I think I'll do fine, but it's a little scary; I mean, at this point it's not only my livelyhood but my familiy's as well that depends on my ability to be a real leader and motivate myself. I'm 99% sure I'll be fine, but a tiny bit of self-doubt is still creeping in.
I also just got back from a weekend in Vegas for Bryce's bachelor party. Loads of fun; good to get away from things for a while. Didn't gamble much; spent most of my time and money on food and drink. Mostly drink. I borrowed $100 from bryce and doubled it on the blackjack table, which financed the rest of my trip since was out of allotted cash. Went to Delmonico again; I was going to say it's my favorite before, but I don't think you can get a true sense of a resturaunt only being there once. Well, now I've been there twice and it's my favorite. :-)
