I think because I've been trying so hard to avoid R talks with H, yes, I may have been trying to detach too much and have shown little warmth. Need to work on that.
H called a little while ago. He has to stay one more night in Portland for a morning meeting with his boss and co-workers (I believe him), so he'll be home tomorrow night. Before he could start another R talk (I felt it coming), I asked him how his day went. We finally had a conversation about something other than our dilemma. H told me about his day. They made good numbers today, but he had some really tough sells. I took this opportunity to tell him just how proud I am of him being out there working his butt off for us. I told him, "I know it's not easy for you when you have to deal with impossible people. I just want you to know how thankful I am for all you do." He said "thank you", and I could hear in his voice that he felt really good. Hmmm... "Words of Affirmation"? Can you tell what book I'm reading now?
Thanks for listening. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
