oo5. four 'why's and a 'how';
Why is it that people are most eager to speak with you when you are quite certain you do not want to speak with them? Why do people assume they are of any importance to anything I am involved in?
Why is my PA incapable of turning away calls? I can count on one hand the number of people important enough to claim their calls are 'urgent'. And why does she keep ordering cappuccinos for me when they are just half a latté topped up with froth? Order a damn latté--the hell with that, what is wrong with black coffee?
And the sooner someone explains to me just how we lost this morning's deal, the sooner I can fire someone.
I'm suddenly understanding what people mean when they say they're running on auto-pilot.
