Do Women Understand Teamwork?

[brain55]

The biggest problem my wife and I have working together is our thought process and decision making processes are completely different.

I will look at a problem and quickly come to a decision and start a course of action, if during the process I find that my course was wrong I will change course.

My wife wants to talk about the problem, if there is a decision made, it will most likely be changed several times before any action is taken. Each changed decision requires more talking about it.

We will generally get to the same place, but her process is painful for me. Three days after I make a decision, she will come back and tell me how she thinks we should do it. Sometimes I have the ability to calmly tell her that I had made the same decision 3 days earlier, other times I can get a little snappy.

Hey, that's exactly what happens to us! Only I am the one talking and planning, and changing the plans 10 times before we get going. My wife just wants to come to a decision and get on with it.

As my father used to say " Don't argue with your wife because even when you win, YOU LOOSE.'

I never assume anybody can read my mind when working with them. I ask them nicely what I would like them to help me with next. Everyone's train of thought is different.

plastic round-shaped leaf grabbers (those things work well).

A dog-poop scooper works well too.

Man Oh Man the wife walked by and ask "Honey what are you reading" and I told her. That was a hour and a half ago and she is in the other room still talking to someone about it. Can't be me because I went into that "what you say and Hard of hearing mod". Next thing you know she will not fix supper.

I have this thing about posts, garden statues and benches being plumb. Not so with wifey. Doesn't matter if they look like the Leaning Tower of Pisa to her. "What's the problem?"

Pictures on the wall here... I can tell they are not level instantly, drives her nuts. I just ask her "Did you put a level on it?" downside is now two of my small levels are now 'hers'

Painting as well, she can tell 43 shades of green apart ("It's Chartreuse, not Light Green!") but can't see she missed a spot right in the middle of the wall when painting tan over white :confused3:

And, since you never learned to cook, she will be telling them that men are unable to understand the finer points of the culinary arts, and what is wrong with them anyway, and ...... Meanwhile, I learned to cook, so I am invulnerable!
