Generally, you have more respect for a process (like, um, teaching or leading) when YOU get put in that role for a bit, and see how frustrating it is.
Actually, part of the meeting was about implementing a work rotation so they will be taking turns in different roles for a week at a time. Site manager, safety officer, batteries/water/supplies, etc. I have to admit I'm looking forward to the schadenfreude I will get hearing them bitch about how much it sucks to be in charge, but I'm hoping that long term it will make them all more amenable to working together as a team, and it will also give them leadership roles to put on their resumes (which point I made this morning).
I'm helping my mom put together an order of Thanksgiving food from Whole Foods. I'm cooking less than usual this year, because I'm trying to rest, so we're ordering more than usual. My mom keeps going back and forth on question like whether we need a half pint or a pint of gravy, and it's driving me nuts -- she keeps making a decision, and then questioning it.
My mother just called Whole Foods, waited on hold for ten minutes, and when someone picked up, she said, "I'd like to place a Thanksgiving order ... but actually, I think I'll try to do it online. I'll call back if that doesn't work." I'm not even going to ask what the logic was behind that.
OK, now she determined that the online ordering only has meal packages, not individual things like she wants, so she called the store back, then hung up, and is now back to online ordering and trying to figure out how to put together the different meal packages to get the things she wants, and whether to get regular or sourdough rolls, since the meals come with rolls.
