Management style, 101

Just the other day, expateek was saying to Mr D
that one of the things she really likes about him
is that he never nags.

He never nags, because after 30 years of dealing with expateek,
he knows that with her unbelievably stubborn streak
and her passive-aggressive tendencies,
nagging is the last thing that will encourage her to get anything done.

Like a mule, she will stop in her tracks and do nothing. For hours. Days, even.





And even when the house is a disaster scenario,
the movers are arriving in under three weeks,
and things are horrible and hectic at work,
he never leaves her notes like this...

Because he knows that it would be counterproductive in the extreme.

In fact, this is the kind of note that expateek would leave
if she were in charge.
Thank goodness she's not!




Instead, Mr D leaves notes like this,
which expateek finds on the kitchen table long after he's gone to work.

Pretty sweet, right?

And has expateek completed these two requests today?

Ummmm. Not quite yet. Workin' on it though.
