Changelings

I don't know about you, but change always throws me. For example, if I am at work and find out that a component in my design has a delivery time that is unacceptable, I usually get cranky. And usually with the messenger. I usually come up with all these reasons why this is a valid thing for me to be upset about, but it is really not a huge deal. I know an EP (exceptional people/person) who handles change really well. If they are planning on watching my kids, and we call up and say we need them to watch a little longer a little later (by little I mean a lot) this EP just says 'okay, sounds good'. We have pulled that stunt and then called back a little before we were supposed to be done, tell them that we are going to be another hour late, and this EP remains good about it.

     Or there is another EP, who gets told that something needs to change or be done, quickly and without warning, and they will get right after it with no visible sign that they are bothered.

     Maybe this will help you get what I mean. My brain is a one track mind. (Not talking about that, grow up) 

     Actually, it's more of a freight train. Once it gets going, I can get a lot done, but switching that train to a different track is rarely smooth, and I usually achieve combustion. If I am lucky, I don't totally wreck. I envy the less volatile EP who changes the track, but doesn't lose it. To add insult to injury, these people can usually get back to what they were working on before the change, and don't seem to lose any steam at all. (I scowl at those people, and occasionally throw things. Maturely)
