Day 232: The Busy Person


You probably notice I have a hard time posting my 365 in time there days. :P Usually the reasons would be 1) I fell asleep or 2) I was lazy. 

If it's Rebecca, those would never be a reason. She can't sit still. At work she will have proposals to write (sometimes 10 of them lining up), billing to do, collections, trouble shooting the problems for her babies (aka us), putting interview material together, bugging us to get timesheet done (oh shoot I haven't done mine!), decoding our messy timesheet input, taking garbage and recycle bags out to the dumpster (because our cleaning lady is small), buying milk, buying office supply, getting Friday breakfast, watering plants in the office, cleaning glass door at office entry and conference rooms when it gets dirty during the day and picking up phones call or greeting people when our receptionist is not available. On special occasions she will get birthday cards, making birthday cakes for us (in my case buying ice cream), organizing office outing and office's annual party which the work includes sending out invitations after checking the party list, budgeting, coordinating with caterer, sometimes cooking the food herself, decorating the office. Don't let me start on her task outside the office such as cooking for 200 people at her church or babysitting, making jewelry, cleaning house (doesn't sound like she gets much help at home), making wedding cakes when someone asks her. 

I am sure I forget a lot of things she does. 

And on top of these she commutes 100 miles per day and she's not the healthiest person I know.

So if you have this type of person in your office or at your house, tie him or her to the chair or just simply say "thank you", will you ?
