A System

Things work better when you have a system in place. A system is like a puzzle. You have many pieces to a problem and they need to fit together to get the perfect picture. Some people will look at the pieces and randomly try to place one piece after another together, getting nowhere. Occasionally two pieces fit and the person thinks that things are going well. Then there are the people that look at the pieces and realize that you need to start with the edges, build the frame and then continue to build in an orderly fashion. I am the edger. My boss is the random builder. Over the years I have tried to tell her that the edges must go first, but she just can't see that. Once again, her pieces are in a mess. Yesterday, I just ignored the problem and kept on typing a report as other workers tried to help.
