...goes unpunished. Have you ever been in a position where you offer to help someone with something, then before you know it one thing has turned into a dozen, and the "no rush" time frame has suddenly become "right now"? Out of the blue the whole thing has become impossible and somehow you find that you've become the bad guy for not being able to get it done. Makes you think twice about offering to help, doesn't it? How can a simple offer of help be translated into the understanding that you've suddenly made yourself available for whatever and whenever someone else wants; that there's nothing else happening in your world except their demands? I don't get it, I simply don't get it. And now I have to find a way to either get out with minimal damage (I suspect "unscathed" is no longer an option), or just keep my head down and plow through as best I can also while trying to minimize damage. No-win situations suck. I wish I knew how I get myself into so many of them, because then I could stop doing whatever it is!
