All I have to say is this
When one of your people gets their maxi pad stuck wrong-side-up because a project was completed in six minutes and not FOUR … and you have to spend a third of your day listening to their complaints and you have to interrupt 12 other salaried people’s days to find out WHAT HAPPENED to those precious two minutes …
And your Mom has a new TIA stroke every two days …
And you spend no time with her anyway because you’re chronically behind and not as on top of things that pay the bills as you need to be so you devote lots of time to those because at least you can somewhat control them …
And your vacation is about to expire unused again …
It’s probably fair to ask everyone to adjust their expectations.
Or more likely I’ll readjust mine. Since that seem to be the only thing I excel at.
