Complicated moments in life...

"... Give your staff this slightly unlawful order"

So I didn't.

And then someone gave my staff the order in writing.

So I'm protected and my staff are protected.

Prayer

From all meetings that drag on and go in circles, Good Lord Deliver Us.

From staff who waste time and attention imagining fantasy obstacles to tasks, Good Lord Deliver Us.

From my bosses who demand massive amounts of detail for irrelevant issues and ignore the relevant ones, Good Lord Deliver Us.

From my complete lack of time to get anything holiday related done, Good Lord Deliver Us.

From my terrifying work backlog, Good Lord Deliver Us.

From my piles of laundry and unfinished housework, Good Lord Deliver Us.

From my mounting list of renovation and home repairs, Good Lord Deliver Us.

From all the things my kids need that are falling through the cracks, Good Lord Deliver Us.

Christmas

Ah yes, Tuesday was the annual "I hate this season" evening.  I managed to survive.

I just need to figure out how to do all my Christmas shopping... and to decide what to buy... and to try to remember who I need to buy for.
