#ways to ask for help
I’ve got a new tactic at work, in that every time I need help with something I say to my manager “I’d be really grateful for some help on x [insert area of law in question], x is a bit of an Achilles heel for me” to allow me to retain a persona of general competence despite the fact that by this time she must have realised I have a LOT of heels compared to Achilles or indeed any other human being. I’m 90 heels in but invoking a hero each time.
“I’m 90 heels in but invoking a hero each time.”
Excellent! I’d steal this if I hadn’t been at my workplace so long.
