[quote=Anonymous]OP - it's okay to be frustrated.  But you need to control how you show it.  An after-hours text is probably not the right path, especially after a short period of time.

I recommend raising this up as a mea culpa in your next 1:1.  Admit that you've been feeling frustrated, but acknowledge that this is just part of the learning curve for you and that you know you'll get past it.  Apologize for the late text.  But you can also say "look, I have high expectations and I know the team can meet them.  So unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to drive them hard towards excellence - but I'm going to make sure I do it in a positive manner"

Hopefully that buries the hatchet and you can feel secure again.

FWIW, I'm in a similar state right now.  I've been at my company for years and I feel secure, but I'm so frustrated and disappointed with a number of issues.  It happens to everybody and many of us (myself included) let our emotions get the better of us.  It only makes our lives harder, though - it doesn't solve any problems.  Try to rise above.[/quote]
