Lucas asked Amanda this question the other day:
"Mom, why do some guys have bumps on their arms and stomach?"
He was referring to their muscles of course. When Amanda relayed this to me I tried flexing to show that I had these "bumps", but it was no use. I used to have them, damnit! So now I am motivated to start trying to get these "bumps" back.
========================================
Then, today in the car Lucas asked me "Dad, are you the boss of anyone?" Now, I am currently in various leadership positions at church and in Toastmasters, and in the past I have held leadership positions in almost any club or organization that I have participated in over the years (including the HOA in our Florida neighborhood). But after thinking for a minute, I realized that I have never actually been the boss of anyone at a professional job (post-college).
Is this normal, acceptable, humiliating? Is it due to my profession (there are plenty of engineers who are more experienced and capable than me who still aren't in charge of anyone)? Whatever the cause, should I care? And if so then what can I do to change it?
