Good for you. Codeslack, nice to see you have a website on your name again! Ironically, I said I'd slack off today after an exhausting hiatus (ironic, huh) but here I am multitasking again.

In fact being lazy makes my day complete. Now I'm off to my power nap. I love that post because I love being lazy. In fact being lazy makes my day complete. Now I’m off to my power nap.

I'd make those jokes that everyone who isn't a manager makes (managers only delegate -- they're lazy) until I became a manager. Life on the other side of the fence is not always greener. The bigger the rat, the bigger the cheese... but the more headaches one has. More meetings, more e-mails to read... more organization... just more. I'm just glad I got out of the rat race and started doing freelance work.... and focused on the more important things in my life -- more time for friends, family, faith and fun. Some people have said I wasn't ambitious enough... that maybe I was lazy and that's why I dropped out of the corporate world... They couldn't be more wrong. I just realized my priorities and what I wanted more...

I love belong to a group, but I also hate it when the groupmates are the cause of delays. That is why I have a love-hate relationship with groupworks.

It's not that you're being lazy or being bossy, but you have to start doing organization stuff - like budget management, project boards, resource/capacity management. Now these things look simple, but heck, it's difficult especially if you're handling a big group. Net, you don't have time to do detailed specific technical things that you used to do, you have to look at the bigger picture.
