I've been working a lot lately. A LOT. And, so, I've been thinking about the roles I play at work and what I should have been...
A firefighter... I know I'm not alone in this one. I feel there are days I run from one fire to the next - and mostly, they feel like forest fires.
A lawyer... I often need to argue my case and negotiate for a better sentence (ok, project plan). I have to prove my case more worthy than others to get the attention it deserves... think of this as Martha Stewart and her posh prison versus Alcatraz.
A hostage negotiator...I have to get people to let things go. And, sometimes, that means talking them off the ledge too.
A comedian... because if I don't find humor in these things, I'd be on the other end of the negotiation.
