Mary Schmich: Sorry, boss, but sometimes that 'personal' task really must be done at 'work.' Here's why
On any given day while you're trying to do your work - I'm referring to the activity officially designated as "work" - there's a good chance you're trying to do something that the world would call "personal."
The so-called personal things require time and effort. Many need to be done during so-called working hours. They may involve pleasure but more often they don't.
Maybe you're dealing with a sick dog. Or an ailing child.
