Would you like some cheese

With that whine?

God bless my employees, they really do deal with a lot of crap, changes, difficult customers and less than forthcoming students with grace and ease.

But if you see a problem, don't tell me about every instance of the problem. Fix it, and let me know the overarching theme after you have adequately fixed it.

Or, if you bring a problem to me, and I say that I will speak with the person who caused it, don't immediately back down and say "well, I don't want it to be a big deal or beat a dead horse." Must not have been that big of a problem, huh? Must've been ok and you just felt like hearing yourself talk for 5 more minutes?

Did you also notice that during those 5 minutes (5 minutes of my life I will never get back, mind you) that I was sorting through a stack of paper, typing an email, and mentally querying 34 different ways to staple your mouth shut?

Probably not, because you live in self absorption land. Population you.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
