Those promises I made are just the sort of thing that point out why I need someone to step up and play the role my father used to play in scheduling my work.
I'm a sucker for the emotional or angry appeal, and it keeps me from prioritizing correctly. I need to be able to refer anyone who wants me to do something to one person (although I answer to four) and have them prioritize, tell me what to do, and answer the supplicants leaving me free to actually do the work.
But there's no one to do that. Only one person is even willing to try, and he's the last person I'd want doing it, and he's admitted that if he does it, he'll put his own interests first. I need someone who's willing to do it and also willing to balance the needs of my four bosses and be fair. And who would be diplomatic enough to answer the appeals without causing undue anger, and supervise me without causing me undue anger. We seem to be lacking such a person.
