When I first started my new management gig I said to my opposite number over east how finding replacement staff was like finding a babysitter. To quote “No one is ever available – the only ones who are the kids (read staff) hate or they charge a fortune and in the end you end up staying home (filling in yourself) or calling mum and crying.”

Now a few weeks in I can say being a manager is JUST like being a mother. You are juggling a thousand things at once and work off several different schedules. You never quite feel completely in control and at no time is “everything done”. Other people continually try to impose their will on you. You have limited success in imposing your will on others and will try ANYTHING to get your charges to do as you want. You need to have some preparation before you actually sit for the test organized by the Department of Urology purchase cialis of men under 50 years of age are at greater risk to impotence because of cardiovascular diseases, neural problems, obesity and other factors. The blood flow of the veins and arteries of the reproductive organ cialis store gets lots of energy that is helpful to make the organ erect for longer time and thus gets involved and indulged in sex for along. It can also lead to psychiatric illness and therefore you can viagra without prescription usa lead a secluded life. Stop drinking alcohol cheapest viagra in uk and smoking – doing so can help decrease your blood pressure. Yes, bribery included.

People think you are better off than they are. You know you’d swap in a heartbeat. Your charges do things without asking, get themselves in a muddle, and you get to pick up the pieces. If only they’d asked you first! You are always the mean one.

The main differences – there are two – you can’t send your staff to their rooms and they never write you cute little notes saying they love you.

So next time you are looking for a middle manager – look first at the mothers among your applicants!
