Growing Mushrooms

The supervisor's tactics and actions of time-buying, delaying, shirking of responsibilities and non-ownership of tasks results in the following in the employee:

Feelings: Frustration. Exasperation. Annoyance.

Virtue Learnt: The art of waiting. Patience.

Possible Physical Result: We wait. And then we produce mushrooms.

Seriously.

Because nothing is ever done on time. The buck is passed from one person to another, with no one claiming responsibility or doing anything about it. So we are kept waiting and waiting and waiting. Most times in vain.

The fungi see the opportunity and attack.

This afternoon, as we walked past a patch of garden area located just outside our department, we realised that even that garden patch had sprouted some mushrooms.

I wonder what they were waiting for.
