managers

i've always been a good manager.

i don't say that in that obnoxious, machismo way. i mean, i understand people because i am people.

that's how good managers are formed. 

good managers cover your shifts for you because you're too hungover. good managers bail you out of jail. good managers drive you to the ER. good managers demand you call them as soon as you're home.

the good managers i have had have been willing to do these things for me because they know me.

they know me, they see me, they laugh with me, they ask me questions, they wonder why i'm being quiet, they ask if i'm doing anything later.

in a virtual workspace, how do you get to know your coworkers?
