It is a quiet Sunday morning. The kids are all playing quietly, Tom is on his computer and D&S are downstairs. Kids have been fed, coffee made, all is good.
So my mind goes into superdrive. And the prevalent thought is "How do I avoid EBS this week?" Now that is just wrong. It is our busy "season" and the staff are beginning to feel "taken advantage of". Yes, I am the boss and can do what I want since they are being paid to be there, but there is the need to have mutual respect and I am definitely losing theirs. So does it matter? Hmmm . . . probably.
I refuse to play the I am sick card. Have to save that one for the days that I am actually under the weather. I can't "blame" my family since they are all making my life so much easier than it has been in ages. I guess I could use the "working at home" but then what about my appointments? That just makes it appear as if my staff don't have the authority to make appointments for me. And then there is the fact that I do have to get the work done! LY has not been dependable due to the family illness and I do need to get things done.
So how does it really look? This moving out of EBS? What will my day look like? How do I do it? The idea of getting out of the business is soooo very appealing. But I have to continue to pay my dues . . . guess that is the responsible thing to do.
Damn I hate being a grown up!
