Episode 69: Seven Dwarfs of Bad Emotion

TOPIC: Boogers and Expectations

Are you making perfect reports when your boss just wants them on time? Are you making crème brûlée when you should be jumping in a trench? Are wangs and boogers causing problems at work?

This week, Dan and Merlin talk more about expectations – whether you're willing to or not – and the risks of expectations of partners, bosses, and kids.

How can you handle expectations? There aren't a lot of easy answers. As you'd probably expect.
