No kidding. Think about when that happens in our own lives, too...like the proverbial semester when you did the most activities but managed to somehow get your best GPA..<br /><br />..I will also remember that rule of management if/when I become a parent..<br /><br />Also one funny observation I remembered after reading your comment...it always amazes me how the people with the LEAST on their plates are often the FIRST to complain about having their time wasted, or some meeting or tasking to be "a waste of time."

They won't have time to play around, but will just get it done, now.<br /><br />Yes, if Mikey is competent, give it to him. I have seen that from both ends. It is flat out truth.<br /><br />Regards — CliffC R Kriegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563658418464959198noreply@blogger.com
