Problem-Solving

My friend told me today that I could call her back and "troubleshoot" some more ideas on how to handle a cranky and fussy Baby P if I wanted. That got me thinking that my new job is quite similar to my other one. With the job I get paid $ for, I have to solve problems everyday. They mostly involve placating customers or researching how an order could have gotten messed up.

One of my sister-in-laws told me that working and managing others was good training for motherhood. I never really believed her until lately....today I worked on placating Baby P and researching how or why he was messed up. Of course, the sleep deprivation and my laryngitis (yes....fun times here) didn't help things and I don't think I have reached any solid conclusions...other than he is just having a tough day. Oh well. There have been plenty of work problems that never reached solid conclusions either.

Looking forward to hearing more problem solving. You are already doing so well! And you've only had this new job for a little over a month!

On another note, I'm meme-ing you. Here are the rules:
1. Write your own six word memoir.
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post, and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
4. Tag at least five more blogs with links.
5. Don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!

Have fun!
