I admit, that's when it gets tricky, when you report to different people. I admit in my last position I was running testing projects and all the testers were "dotted lined" to the project but did not report to us. So it could be difficult when they weren't doing their part. I had to very diplomatically escalate those issues while maintaining good relationships with them. I admit my new boss came in, barrels blazing, and really made life hard. I admit I didn't like her at all (none of us did), but made a very big effort to make things work, and now we get along very well. In fact, she gave me some very big kudos on Friday, and copied our Director and HR on it. I was happily surprised. I admit, I hear ya about the rough weeks. I could use a vacation, too, but there is none in sight - just more long hours. I admit the Mister listed his house this weekend, and chose a realtor up here for our house search.
