Working On Solutions

"I never saw Mr. O'Malley really discouraged. Instead I could see his mind working all the time, working on the solutions to the problems." - Vin Scully

I like the companion phrase that "problems are solutions in work clothes." When work was overwhelming and management was joking that being overwhelmed was good... there were possible solutions:

1. Explore other jobs.
2. Reduce work.
3. Objectively outline the case for more workers.
4. Trust that everything's gonna be all right.

It brought peace to dabble in all of those. And now our staff matches the work, and a couple of alternative careers are developing just in case. Thank God, everything's gonna be all right!
