not any more frustrating than has been typical lately
until one of my people came in my office
to tell me something she thought I was doing wrong
with the work I took off her hands because she couldn't keep up
because I'm not doing it the same way she has always done it
I tried to blow it off and say okay that's fine
and she kept at me until I asked her what difference it made
and she said that's the way I taught her to do it
she doesn't remember all the changes from where it began
and I tried to explain that I will do it my way
and that it's okay too to do it her way
she did what she does and talked over me so she couldn't hear me
telling me why we are supposed to do it her way
then I asked her if she had ever heard the expression "teach your grandmother to suck eggs" and she went away mad
and now I'm trying to calm myself down
sometimes I wish I were a smoker
or a drinker
or had a rewind button
