I'm not usually a real "timid" person, and don't really have a problem with utilizing a "take charge" or "proactive" approach, but in this situation I'm just not sure what the best thing to do would be, and I'd really rather not screw this up.
Don’t bullshit me or yourself man, if you don’t have a problem taking charge then you wouldn’t be posting about what to do. You know exactly what to do and that is to take charge and be proactive. Now get of the pot and get to work.
