What to do about work at the beginning of the week? Well, no action is worse than simply doing nothing at all. So make a decision. You can hammer out the details (or, if you need to, change course) later. On tuesday or wednesday, you're in an out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-new head space. If a problem arises in a partnership, you may question whether the partnership is worth it. (and if it's not, why stick with it? ) toward the end of the week, as you put your foot down about a number of issues, everyone else's respect for you is only going to grow.
