My career has been long enough that in hindsight I’ve been the one with the harebrained idea and I swear it was a good idea at the time!
Comment on I'm just happy you thought it was funny, dear

Me explaining why anything is the way it is at work…
Well you see…before I started they had this hare-brained idea, and I’ve been trying to fix it every year since.

At the time it was the best way to duct tape over someone else’s long-forgotten but recently uncovered cut corner.
And so the cycle continues.

It’s the circle of life and it moves us all.

This is the bad thing about finding a good employer…the type you feel okay staying at a long time because they treat you well, the pay is reasonable and the benefits are great.
That’s where I’m at now, and I’m starting to get bit in the ass by my own harebrained ideas, too.
