Life is really rather complicated right now - too much happening too quickly. Work wants to break out of its box and is threatening to swamp all of the rest of life and I cant let that happen. There was, for the last three semesters, a quiet truce between work and VLI training, an implicit support from my immediate manager over doing the course. Now I am faced with a task list conservatively estimated at 16 man days, with 10 real working days to get it done, and I’m wondering where the support went. Seems an edict came down from on high and here we all are. So now, what happens? Seems to me that I need to enforce the boundries again, force work back into its box, but that is clearly a “career limiting move” with the present management hierarchy. So, once again, life and motivation and decision making comes down to the age-old simple maxim I’ve lived by in circumstances like these before
Non illigitamus carborundum
I’ll leave you to look up the meaning…
