URGENT!

This post has nothing to do with training or racing. This is about my work frustrations. Why is it that everyone needs everything done ASAP or TODAY or IMMEDIATELY? Every manager I work for thinks their stuff is MORE IMPORTANT than everyone else's. In fact, this week, I started a "list". Every time someone tells me something is URGENT or needs to be done IMMEDIATELY, I make a tick mark. Well, we're only 3 days into the week and I already have 11 tick marks. The problem is, they make me "jump" to get things done, but when the ball lands back in their court, it just sits there. Frustrating. Like the boy who cried wolf...
