It's also true that we have to try to give our tiresome colleagues and clients the benefit of the doubt because sometimes, the answers really ARE #1 or #2 and if we react calmly, we can suss out true motives. That said, the people who inspired this post are in fact tools and do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. In case you were wondering. Thanks to everyone for reading and commenting!

I forwarded to friends with the subject line TRUFAX. But isn't every job like this?

But in the association world, I get to leave at 4 and leave my work at the office. You have to be connected a lot more in agency IMO. And the tools are rampant.
