[quote=Anonymous]If you can run a household, you can be a PM.

You come up with a plan.  Everyone has a job and a timeframe to do it within a budget.  Then someone gets sick, figures out that they can’t do what they said in the timeframe, the budget changes, the client changes the scope or the delivery date.  And with each ball thrown at you, you rearrange the chess pieces to make it all work.  Then you make presentations to tell everyone how great you’re doing.

Think of it like running your house, getting all the kids to their activities in different parts of town at the same time, and then DH calls to tell you he’s going out of town tomorrow night so you start trying to figure out who can help you out.  Then you figure out dinner and are just sitting down to relax when someone comes downstairs to tell you that they remembered they have a project due tomorrow.  So off you go to Michael’s at 9pm and you help with a new to you project.  In setting your kid up to do the project, you realize they have done none of the necessary research so you’re going to have to help them step by step.  This all would be fine if you knew about this last week when the assignment came out but now you have 2hrs to get it all done.  In the morning you post a picture of one kid scoring a goal, another kid with their poster, and a picture of a perfect meal on the table [/quote]
