I Feel Like Shit

[Professor S]

I just had to terminate the employment for one of the guys who works in my department. I have no doubts that it was the right decision, but there is no part of that experience that is easy or rewarding. Its tough to look someone in the eye and change their life in ways they were never expecting, and he never expected this, even though he should have.

Being on the side of management has given me a whole new respect for managers as a whole. Inanimate objects are easy to deal with, but people are a whole other matter. It is a tough job to have and even tougher to be good at. In the end I guess its good I feel miserable. If I didn't, then I'd know I have a problem.

Ugh, I need a beer and a cigarrette.
