...When one of them started embracing everyone who smiled at her, I freaked out. Not entirely sure how to deal with this behavior, I thought it was time to leave the party and head home. But it didn't work exactly like that...

Whoever is now secretary of state has a much more complex picture to deal with. It's much harder to prioritize, which is why I have surrounded myself with very strong undersecretaries who can take the lead on a lot of the issues and bring me in when necessary. I think they would probably say I often drive them nuts because I keep raising questions...
