The work side of being a boss/manager is easy enough but the personal side really sucks. A week into my management role one of my techs had his wife kidnap his kid and attempted suicide. And two weeks after that another tech had his son (excellent little hockey player) get a staph infection and be hospitalized with them almost having to amputate the kids leg. I was 28 at the time and had no idea how to deal with that #### when they kept coming to talk. Got through it but I was much happier working at the bench fixing things.
Hope your promotion goes much smoother.
