All i've got ....all i've got is insane!

Shitty freakin week at office. Been languishing under the ever piling load of work. Schedules, deadlines, meetings....uggh!
When I was in college, everyone around me told me that I was cut out for management. And i truly believed it, always thinking that management is all about managing resources. I mean, how tough could it be, juggle with your numbers, cut a few things here, add a few things there and voila....it should be done. However, work has been an eye opener. The word resources has been so misleading, never really thought that managing resources in a company like mine actually meant that i was managing "people" and not some inanimate object like a pencil or a printer or some such thing. Resources for us are a bunch of people who have their own constraints, who have to leave office early to attend to their families, who have to go and search for a house while you're discussing life and death situations with them... and more importantly people screw up !! Thats reality and you have to learn to live with that....come to think of it managing things boils down to managing your screw ups. Optimize your screw ups and you have the perfect project accomplished. Whoa!! Thats enough learning in 1.6 years of work!
