Today has been one of those days.
Mr. BIL will give me a project. I get about ten minutes in and he comes out and asks me to do something “really quick.” I do the quick thing and when I come back he gives me another time-sensitive thing to do. I get that done and go back to the original project. I get about ten minutes in again and he gives me yet another small immediate-need project. I finish it, and get back to original project.
ALL DAY LONG since the time I got here this morning he has been doing this. It’s now 3:30 p.m. and I only JUST NOW finished the original project that should have only taken me 30 minutes of devoted time this morning. I’m happy it’s done, sure, don’t get me wrong. BUT. It could have been done a lot faster if he had just left me alone to finish it and then given me the immediate-need stuff which really wasn’t immediately needed at all.
Needless to say I’m VERY happy it’s Friday. Sad I have to work on Monday, which is a holiday for some people. I console myself with the knowledge that some of Mr. BIL’s clients will have it as a holiday and probably won’t call.
