Too old and have paid my dues. (Your Wednesday was a good reminder of how lucky you are not to have to get up and face that junk all day every day!)

The closest I’ve come to a power struggle or hierarchical mess since leaving my cubefarm job was being given the green light to start on a project one day, only to have it come to a screeching halt the next because somebody higher up decided to reprioritize. Fortunately, it happened so quick I hadn’t begun any work on the project.

Keep fighting the good fight! It’s hard to remember how awesome freelancing is when you’re having a day like Wednesday, but it’s important to remember that there is always light at the end of that tunnel, whether you can see it or not. We’re sooo much better off not being a square on hell’s org chart.
