Put On Your Patience Sombrero
Backstory: I recently started a new job and sent my mom an email complaining about my incredibly strange boss.
Ah yes – plays well with others. Much harder as an adult. As I look back at all the freaks I’ve worked with, its definitely better looking back at the situation than being in the middle of it. Put your patience sombrero on and breathe deep. Some people are truly strange and beyond help. I know this is why they made you do group projects in school – to build your frustration tolerance.
Mom’s New Job
