I was assigned to jury duty and whenever I step into the courtroom I feel so nervous lol like I was the one on trial.

I think it's natural to feel nervous when you're in a courtroom, especially if you're a juror. You want to make sure you're doing your job right and that you're not messing up the case.

I've largely gotten over it by now, but I was so nervous the first time I was called to give a statement in court that I knocked over a glass of water. The judge was less than impressed

It's funny because courts vary so much based on their location and jurisdiction. Traffic court just looks like a glorified conference room, whereas federal court is all dark polished wood and fancy office chairs. Amazing how big of a disparity you will find

That must have been before you were with the department... full-time police officers are exempt from jury duty. I had jury duty a long time ago and it's actually what got me interested in pursuing law enforcement as a career. Was it the same kind of thing for you?

My gf and I are having a big discussion and I would love to get your thoughts on this. It’s about how much we keep in touch and communicate when I’m on the road. She needs to hear from me everyday multiple times and if I don’t answer her texts within a few hours, she can get quite controlling (text over and over again, also on my work phone, asks what I am doing and gets upset). I am not used to that and have the trust if she doesn’t text back, that it’s for good reasons, busy at work…. (Ctd)

As you grow with your company and take on more responsibilities, delegation becomes MANDATORY to be effective in your role.

Just don't confuse delegation as an excuse to get away from tasks while you don't work on anything important. Rather, use it to grow efficiently by working on the most important tasks while others help you.

Hi. What do you do with a gaslighting boss and coworker in a small office? I also don’t feel like my boss even cares about me. Examples- there was a man with a gun in parking lot that I had to flee from and call police, he didn’t care- just asked me when I was coming back to work.😳 zero compassion. didn’t care I had a blinking light above my desk, waited two months to fix it though my eye was twitching! Makes me feel like a burden for taking care of my health, etc. and gaslights me regularly!
