Starting to feel a little defeated. How do you deal with an executive that works on their calendar too? And doesn’t really give you full control? I was moving things around making a meeting work and then my executive moved everything around and screwed up everything I worked on.

ਧੂੜਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਸਦੇ ਸੀ
