Return From Vacation: Déjà Vu

Back from 3 weeks vacation today and – everything – is – exactly – the – same.

Everything.

Not one of the “crisis” issues has been resolved – not even those with “hard” deadlines of 2 weeks earlier.

Desk is piled high with Stuff – expected – but not in a way that indicates any of the Crises were waiting on me. Working my way down the pile(s), I see that the Crises are just going round-and-round in circles.

Maybe that’s why I’m here? The impatience of a lowly cube worker pulling things out of the circle brings resolution? Apparently. Responsibility without Authority.

But what if you don’t want it?
