Interesting Decision to Make
At work I am trying to get away from the (self-imposed) "crisis of the day" and do more meaningful long-term work that needs to be done and is better suited to my skills. And then something comes up like today, when my bosses dropped the ball on something last week and they needed an analysis of a 58-page document and they needed it in about 4 hours. They come to me because they know I can do it (and I did) but the work I really wanted to do got put off until tomorrow as a result.
So the question is...
...do I continue to do well on those immediate tasks, which probably means they'll keep asking and I won't get to do the work I want to do? Or,
...do I screw up one of these so maybe they quit asking me to do it, and then maybe I can focus on other stuff?
Decisions, decisions.
