super complicated, but even longer and mor difficult

I have spent most of my day either 

talk­ing about su­per com­pli­cat­ed issues 

or lis­ten­ing to people 

talk about su­per com­pli­cat­ed issues 

and it has been exhausting.
 

I am not this worn out af­ter work­ing in the yard for six hours. 

I am not this worn out af­ter three 45-minute ses­sions on my ex­er­cise bike. 

I am not even this worn out af­ter walk­ing around at Dis­ney­land for al­most twelve hours at peak crowds.
 

Look­ing back on all the mes­sages about Ca­reers And The Work­place I re­ceived when I was grow­ing up, 

it’s very clear that we were all ex­pect­ed to be – or at least func­tion like – Type A Extroverts.
 

“You’d
get
the answers
to all
of the
questions
you’re asking

if

you’d stop
in­ter­rupt­ing me

and

just
listen
to
the
entire
pre­sen­ta­tion first.”

They have to be made to do that.
