Feeling unsettled at the yard - what would you advise?

Just having one of those days, I guess.

Let the dust settle. People are like horses in terms of herds - there's always one that like to strut their stuff in an attempt to come across scary and controlling - once they have got it out of their system they will either settle down or you will become immune to it. Give it some time.

Organise a yard meeting with all those that are affected and the person that is causing the problem. Make sure the yo is there too. Whether he/she likes it or not they are responsible for the yard. Whatever you do, don't allow it to become a slanging match. Make it clear at the begining that everyone will have an opportunity to speak. Make sure that when an individual is speaking, they are not interrupted or shouted down. If this fails to bridge the gap that seems to be widening for you all then ..................................pretend that said person isn't there an wear an ipod and turn up the volume???

I went through several episodes of feeling like this - and am now moving yards.

Make sure you are genuinely unhappy about real things - and not just having an off day. Moving yard is stressful.
