I think my boss is mad at me...

Ok, well I know it doesn't happen often, but I always feel terrible when it does. I don't think I did anything wrong, however in hindsight I think I should have done things differently.

Last week when my boss and I chatted about headcount and recruitment we agreed that we'd post for a manager (to help me with my 50+ employees) and also some specialists (senior trainers). OK so far, right? So...off I went to my recruiter who posted the 2 positions. While I have about 10 vacancies, for budget reasons I can only hire 50% - even so, that's better than none.

Well....the manager position posts and for whatever reason I didn't tell my team in advance..... so, either they were pinging the manager who currently works for me or they were chatting among themselves, but essentially they thought I was leaving. Hahah - if only! To counteract that in my monthly communications email I send to my team I mentioned we were hiring for a manager - I figured if they heard it from me, they'd stop gossiping.

My boss is currently sitting on a beach in Aruba. She emails and says "why did you post that, we haven't agreed what they'd do, we need approval" etc etc etc. We talked last week and I swear up and down we agreed that we could worry about that later. Talk about rewriting history.

Anyway....why I feel bad i don't know. I explained that perhaps I misunderstood - and she's fine about it. Why do I feel so bad....

On another note, it was beautiful here last night in the city. Someone who used to work for me in STL was in town and along with a few other peeps we went and had a few beers. Started off in my favourite bar and then went to Bryant Park which is outside drinking establishment. It was about 72 degrees, not a stitch of humidity. It was lovely. It's nights like that I'm thankful I'm always 30 mins from home. It was a really nice night.
