I guess we all have weaknesses. Mine is paperwork. Always has been although I have improved because I found it easier to do it at the time rather than try and recall by memory.
When workload is very high one tends to pay more attention to the work than recording it.This is the case when I worked for Keyland Aviation on the Darling Downs in SE Queensland. The head office at Dalby would be screaming for work invoices and I’d be making promises. Then when it had gone on for too long I thought inleau of an apology I’d write an explanation. Here it is and I think at Dalby it was named Gary’s Lament.

Gary’s Lament.
It is obvious by looks,
One has neglected his books.
Under the workload I have had,
It cannot be looked upon as being so bad.
Eachday with farmers at phone and door,
Order slips on my desk galore,
Allbooked first up the day before.
Trying each day with wind so bad,
Oh how I wished I had a wealthy dad.
And as the season draws to a close,
I look to my performance in the field I choose.
My achievements, gains and mistakes,
And in one particular I take the cake.
This is where you may have guessed,
I don’t shine my very best,
My books.

Yes I had a few more days reprieve but in the end I still had to produce invoices.
