Give it a little time, then it’s all fine.

And the cat takes it out on the mouse.

And the mouse takes it out on the cheese. In the end, the cheese is the real loser here. Think of the cheese for goodness’ sake.

Meats and cheeses

@Clarke
Cheese ends up messing with the boss’s digestive system since he’s lactose intolerant

@Clarke
The cheese stands alone

Or just leaves a gift on the kid’s pillow. Cats will mess with mice for no reason at all.

Sounds like the classic Tom and Jerry scenario

I’ve seen this in real life. On vacation at the beach, teaching kids to snorkel. Then I got a call from my boss asking questions about my job, making me defend my role, and trying to set me up to be fired, while I’m on vacation. I was furious.

After the call, I went back to the kids. Snorkeling is tough! I understand that. But with what just happened, I snapped. I told my daughter that if she didn’t want to learn, she could just sit on the beach.

Then I quickly realized what I had said. I apologized to her and we moved on, but I promised to never let work affect me like that again.

Since then, I haven’t missed a single event in my kids’ lives. I once got suspended from work for telling them, ahead of time, about a basketball game I was attending, but I went anyway.

Family comes first, always.

Good for you for apologizing. I’ve been in similar spots and apologized to my little girl too, explaining the mistake I made. Looking back makes me a bit sad, but I learned from it.

Yep. I left that job shortly after. I was a VP with a nice office view, even made the 40 Under 40 list once.

I left to become a senior manager in a more open space with my coworkers. Slight pay cut, but way better life. And I don’t take work home anymore.

@Finnley
I wish it was this easy for me. Luckily I don’t have kids yet.
