RE: Yielding happiness in the daily grind

in LeoFinance3 years ago

You prepping small for when you had to do the delivery from home reminded me of talking with some other people about the massive disparity of what construes as "important" between adults and kids. Like I don't know if you actually would have said to her at any point "only come tell me if it's important" or something to that effect but I know some other parents who have said that to their kids and the kids have burst in with stuff that really wasn't important in the slightest in the grand scheme but at that age with their relative level of life experience it was of the absolute most critical importance XD

Does your company contain a bunch of trainers (including you) that somewhat specialise into areas? As the other option (that you're the only one and you have to do everything) isn't making logical sense.

Did you not get some grace/extension/something with the loan given that it would have been act6ually impossible to get all the stuff done that you needed to on time because of the constant government-caused/sanctioned interruptions?

Sort:  

Ahahaha.

Important to kids and important to adults is totally different.

Luke Stokes gives his kids tokens to give him if they need to interrupt him at work. I guess if you give them some value, use shiny baubles they're reluctant to hand over.

That is a brilliant idea :O

I got my wife a wirex card the other day - I wonder if I can do similar for her ;D

I love this idea! I'm going to use it! Thanks @lukestokes (and @mattclarke)

"only come tell me if it's important"

I have tried this other times - it doesn't work. I told her, "only come to me if you need to go to the toilet" :D She still came in a couple times to potter around near me and once to bring me an orchid blossom that had died and fallen off the plant.

Other people can take the trainings themselves, but this particular event is being delivered in the customer environment, meaning getting access. That can take weeks, depending on the customer. On short notice, it is hard to get new people into customer Active Directory lists and then, they would also have to become somewhat familiar with the usecases in the solution. From a technical knowledge standpoint, anyone in the team could effectively deliver it otherwise.

Yes, but we are coming to the end of the grace period too. We had scheduled a lot of work to be done in the last few months, but due to more Corona issues, it got interrupted again.

I'd say talk to them again but you've probably already done that. It's statistically unlikely that you're the only ones in this situation, they're going to have to work something out or end the "plandemic" soon or something XD

We might have to - but at the same time - I just want it done!!!

Trust me I know that feeling XD

If you think you can get it done then you'll get it done. If you need more time then you need more time.

But the flower fell! That is totally important!

I love kids <3

Indeed it is. It has been a fun few days - considering. :)
