Thank you, Scott.
This strip made me realize just how much of a PHB my best friend really can be. I did some work for him in 2006 and this was, unfortunately, a common conversation.
I'm a pretty hard and effective worker, but I use Wally's advice about caring often. The more things get really bad or out of control, the less I start worrying about it and caring what happens. I allows me concentrate more on getting the problem resolved and be more effective. Caring to the point of fretting just impedes your thought process.
