I have SO asked a boss to prioritize for me and been told that everything on my list was #1 priority and #1 importance. Does not work well.

Obviously, "#1 priority and importance" needs to be subdivided into 1a, 1b, etc....

Since everything can't be priority #1, does it make you tempted to have NOTHING be priority #1?

Indeed! Hence posting here about it instead of actually making progress on any of the myriad of #1 priorities.

"pick me up! I'm cute and alert and not crying. You know you want to snuggle me and hold me." But as soon as you do, he wails because it's too much stimulation.

The human vision of the feline hand trap! Execpt with fewer bloody scratches.

Y'all I'm so going to end up working when I'm on vacation in a couple weeks. So wrong.

Liese, is the route to town bikeable? Cause that'd be my first alternative.

I once told a boss that "if everything is #1 priority, then I will do these in a random order and you'll just have to deal with it."

Then he sat down and laid out what he'd like to see done first.

Good one.

See, if they say "everything is #1 priority," they're just in denial that not everything they want done is gonna get done when they want it. Somehow, you have to find a way to get them to face reality. Assuming you care, that is....

Well, it's probably bikable for SO (in fact, our visitors are bringing him a mountain bike) but possibly not for me. It's about seven miles to the heart of town, and it includes some pretty significant hills.

I suppose the answer is for me to get in better shape. My answer is to buy the weird tiny little vespacartruck dealio (like this one, but white: [link] and use that. Parking at the airport is free, so we'd be able to leave a vehicle there and still bus in.

What did you mean when you said, "feel my skills, donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey?"

Leise- That is the cutest vespacartruck dealie I have ever seen. I am currently carless and I am want to buy a scooter to go get groceries. I am not sure how drivable they are in the winter, though, and we have a lot of winter.

If everything is number one - which things don't have to be perfect? In my world ( library) public appearance /relations matter more than anything else...some of the backroom stuff slides

I always hated hills on bike. I've done my dad's commute (10 miles throught the city traffic) in a little over half an hour but that's pretty flat. When I was on a trail in WVa, I wanted to kill someone.
