Not Despairing, Not Presuming

When attempting to bring some cheer to the lives of colleagues who are looking a trifle glum I've pointed out that all those impossible jobs on that depressing to-do list will be long gone in another year. The list will have been replaced by something most likely a few items longer. I sometimes think my good counsel leaves a little to be desired.

You could point out that either those jobs will be long gone or their jobs could be long gone. *grin*

Very, very Ouch - in a usefully bracing sort of manner.
