Management!
I've been managing a team for the last couple of months (football team this is)... and I never realised I had such depths of angst in me.
In my work job I am a supervisor in a data processing team, and I am the most understanding, gentle, socialist, kind of manager you could imagine.
My football (soccer) team has lost their first 6 games and managed 3 goals so far. It took me 3 1/2 games to break out of being supportive and encouraging to be marching round the dressing room at half time yelling at people and telling them they were playing like cunts...
It definitely is the hardest balance... when you are running an amateur (sic) team - on the one hand realising that no one is getting paid to be there and its supposed to be fun first of all, and on the other hand you want to fucking WIN...
