Addendum
So the star of my previous work rant swung by:
"How's that task coming?"
"Working on it."
"How far do you have to go?"
"Half a page."
"What?! How long was it?"
"It's two pages."
"And you're not done yet?"
"Yeah, well, I had another task that took priority."
New rule. If you unceremoniously drop something on me and blithely assume I'm going to make it Priority 1? I won't. It'll be Priority 2, dropping down the priority stack based on who else gives me stuff and explains how soon it needs to be done and why (and also based on how obnoxious you were about your demand).
This country is in desperate need of a reality check, but so many kneecaps, so few baseball bats, so little time...
