a few months back, when they started floating the idea of this new job, i told my mom that i was concerned about managing people again. i've done it in the past and it didn't end well. people, as it turned, didn't like being managed by someone as young as me and i was afraid that would happen again. ever since then, she sends me what i've learners to lovingly refer to as management tips of the day. most of the time they are either pretty obvious or pretty corny. like with anything, i try to take the original idea and roll it back into the realm of the practical. so, when i was presented with the notion of writing someone a thank you note every single day, i thought 'boy, that would lose all meaning after week one' but then i realized it was no more than something i am already trying to do here. sure, i still think its a little corny, but i will make it a point to go out of my way to say a sincere thank you to someone i work with everyday.... but I probably won't hand write a note...
