    LOL. That’s so true.
    A coworker at my high school job made the mistake of doing a particularly odious task well. Then on, she was always assigned it. I remember telling her she should’ve done a poor job of it because then she was stuck.

    Right?! Worse yet, they expect you to do it right the next time. Augh!

    Too true! Besides (as Hubby once explained to me in an unguarded moment), if you do it badly enough the first time, you don’t get asked again.
