I'd really love to know what you find to be the most frustrating part of your role, like a white whale kind of things you feel you can't ever really ovecome or aren't as great at or hate that you hate. Let's do the whole new year vulnerability thing. Mine is Excel.

You hate excel or you hate you’re not that good at it?

Hazardous chemical shipping, it feels like navigating a mine field of bureaucracy which if you’re not careful will blow up in your face metaphorically and literally. I can do it, but it stresses me out to near panic attack.

Mine is dealing with the teamsters… I’ve become skilled with dealing with unions, but the current one that represents my drivers is a joke. If you work in an industry or company that has a union, you want them to at least be competent. Looking forward to working in a non-union leadership position again!

Dealing with business stakeholders who keep you out of the loop/refuse to involve you and then come screaming when things go pear shaped,and you have to clean up their mess - referrals by doing 1 month worth of work in 2-3 days. It's lost the power to surprise me as it consistently happens at every SCM job I've had :D

I hate managing people or logistics and scheduling. What would this role be called? Do you see it as demotion from CD?

Downloaded the “Days” app. No frills, no extras. Just a number staring you in the face. I’ve made it almost habitual to open and check... even multiple times a day when I know the day counter hasn’t changed, but it’s helping and encouraging. Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.
