Paula you pretty well cut to the heart of my minor melt down, thank you.
I work for a large age restricted community (read that as a VERY difficult population to serve) who often want (demand?!?) what they want without understanding how to get there.
After eliminating my budget at the beginning of the pandemic lock down (totally understandable despite my recommendation that we should keep to our annuals plan) then jumping to hyper speed three weeks after seeing every other community in the area had planted their annuals... I was feeling a little stressed.
Initially I was looking for some backup in case I was going to try dissuading them but as I processed everything I felt better just going with the flow and thinking more along the lines of "sure, lets see what we can do".
Sometimes being told to do something you would never choose to do shows you that more is possible than you thought.
Thanks everyone!

p.s. I haven't heard anything since the initial rumblings and have been busy keeping my head down and my mouth shut about it! So far, so good!
