Your boss knows how to be a boss.

"I can tell you I will be doing that a lot more with you guys. You will be doing that a lot more with them. "--Your boss knows how to be a boss. And he is trying to help you to be a good boss as well.

Don't feel bad, let me share with you what my boss sent to me today--On Sunday morning! The system admin in my group did get something done, and my boss sent the blame me. -- "I'm disappointed that we continue to have problems. Let me know how you are going to address this."

:-) I don't feel too bad about it. Cound not meet the deadline or not get something done is not a big deal.But make sure you address the problem and show your boss you are in control of the situation.
