Yet, here I was being treated like a child.

We know the facts. 365 days in a year. 24 hours in a day. 60 minutes in an hour. It’s the same for all of us. Have you ever noticed how some people seem to get a lot done while others seem to be overwhelmed and unable to answer an email in a timely manner?
