That's almost like the piece of advice my ex-apple employee said as I sought help from friends like him that have been through the industry a little more than meGlad to hear you are feeling better.
I've been there before... many times. It's an opportunity to find out and show what you are made of, and to potentially impress management. Do a great job, but not so great that it looks like you can easily handle it all, otherwise it will likely be a permanent thing.
I am glad the admins had let go of the manager in question after they took appropriate action including imposing administrative leave. This resulted in an extension of the deadline of the documentation we are working on, which not only lets us rest for the 4th of July but for the supervisor to also work with the admins on finding a replacement manager. I had two friends + a therapist that backed me up and prepared me to handle this situation accordingly.
I have another conference call for follow up with the admins after my regularly scheduled work meeting and before therapy... let's see how it goes next week. Cheers.
