You score, but wonder if you could have driven a tougher bargain. Settle down. Pushing any harder would have been extortion.
A superior will give you the go-ahead but only if you compromise on a hotly contested point. Run it by supporters before you answer.
It’s your job to be upbeat even if some people make fun of it. It’s your can-do spirit that inspires; not critics’ jeremiads.
Take a hotheaded type aside and give him a quick lecture on etiquette. You value his colorful personality but others aren’t so polychromatic in their appreciation.
You swore you’d never bail a certain someone out again, but what can you say? It comes with the boots and the cape.
A problematic loved one promises to make big changes. Can you trust it? Positive reinforcement would be a wise investment now.
