Cyril the squirrel up for a challenge © Brian SnelsonYou've been there, I bet! There's a problem that just refuses to be solved. As a matter of fact, your workarounds didn't really «work around» that problem. Sometimes, you're able to find a solution like a service or a product that will do the job. Alas, all of a sudden, the service or the product gets discontinued. Even worse: vendors and providers decide to split it up, into Scylla and Charybdis, oops: Classic and Premium. You've experienced the consequences: endless footnotes attached to suspiciously low prices, imposing limitation after limitation on you. All of that fine print tortures first your eyesight and in the second place your patience. Say goodbye to comparing offers and prices...
On this blog, I'm into discovering and describing timeless solutions for self-development problems. I've got some questions for you:
- What are your timeless self-development and organization problems?
- Did some solutions turn out to be Pyrrhic victories?
- What is your toughest nut to crack, that obnoxious problem you'd like to see covered by a blog posting, here?
Please answer in a comment - I'll pick the toughest challenges and turn them into postings on this blog!

Problem
There is another manager (IS mgr) who is widely known to be a bully, but her behavior appears to be condoned. I am one of her victims. I've been able to work around her various exploits by being creative and hard working. However she has now issued a rule to me and one other manager that forbids us from communicating with her staff directly via email, phone or verbally. All communication, including simple questions, must go through a task assignment application that she controls. If she wants to teach someone a lesson, she assigns the question 40 hours of labor, which requires VP approval and can take months to prioritize. Other than finding a new job, any creative ideas?
