It’s a bore listening to stuffy types criticize everything you do, but if that’s what it takes to win their support then try to look interested.
An impossible request may be your chance to color outside the lines. Get into the spirit of experimentation and discovery.
You appear to be more upset about having let someone down than the person in question. It’s not the end of the world. Give yourself a break.
Don’t engage in a debate. You’re talking apples while the other person’s talking oranges. It would make a nice fruit salad, but not today.
Letting a situation deteriorate on its own could get long and tedious. You’d be happier making a clean break.
Procrastination costs you more time than taking the bull by the horns. Devote a couple hours to clearing your backlog of work and your life is yours.
