> My duty was supposed to be to get said monkey off my back as quickly as possible, whether my actions actually worked toward a true resolution or not. A coach once gave me similar advice... I replied that if people baked the bread he eats like he told me to do my job, he'd be dead within months. He ran to the team leader, with whom I had a 30 minute chat where I vented about how I hated everything about the job except the customers, to which my team leader responded with what he appreciated about my work. The coach never got over that. Still make me smile.
