THE UNEXPECTED PROJECT MANAGER
 
What is an Unexpected Project Manager?  That’s when you get things to do that morph into projects while you’re looking away.  It’s when you say to someone, ‘Sure, that will be easy.’  It’s when you way over-estimate what you can accomplish in one day.  Many people are stressed out at work because the tasks on their to-do lists are really projects.
