This is Help Launton, the show that tackles all the big work questions you cannot ask anyone

You got plans.

You don't have time to wait.

And you're really, really frustrated.

And you just, you want to skip the line, you want to get ahead, and you can't figure

out how.

Well, I'm going to tell you the problem, because I have been there, and here's the problem.
