Things at Home: 3 humans, 2 cats. All is well.
Frankie currently wants to try every new food she sees, it's a lot of fun and so far there's very little she doesn't like. She also really loves singing, jumping and counting. I have learned The Very Hungry Caterpillar by heart - it's her current favourite book.
Rob, unfortunately, is super stressed right now. His team have a new manager, brought in externally who doesn't know the team, the work or the company and she's trying to micromanage them. At this rate, she's not going to have a team to manage because half of them have already threatened to quit and two have gone off sick!

Our daughter when a toddler when placed at the dining table in her high chair would scrutinize everybody else's plate to make sure she wasn't missing out on anything. As a teenager a non-trivial fraction of her own funds go on snacks she picks up herself from stores.
Yeah, incompetent micromanagement sucks. It's hard to know if one should riskily explain more openly what the issue is or just figure that they're paying one to do things as directed and if it's burdensome and dumb then, well, that's what they asked and paid for. (For boneheaded things I do make sure that I have written record of the instruction and my warning!)

(I really enjoyed them. Cormoran and Robin's dynamic is so much fun to follow.)
