taking all the fun

One of the things I like about my job is the ability to do things, mostly fun things, in service of my peeps. The way I wrote my job description was supposed to allow me a lot of leeway in terms of choosing and implementing projects. Now I am suddenly being scrutinized by some higher ups and not allowed to do what I want, which of course makes me not want to do it at all. So my current fun project is on hold and I'm feeling pretty cranky about it. It may take more than a lunch with my faculty liaisons to make things right again.
