Are you a do-what or a go-pher?

In India, we do not have the engineering background per se. So for every little thing, we depend upon workers, who do the thing. The best I remember ... repairing those music tapes using cello taps, and once the water cooler was leaking in the office...all male members were kinda confused what to do. I switched off the cooler, opened the case, pushed the pipe in. This made them ask me to repair the switches now and then. Boy was I scared....I mean, I can handle screw driver and remove the plastic wire around the copper wire, and push i in, and keep it separate...but earthing??? I told them many times, I am not an electrician....they said ...doesn't matter, we need the stuff now. Their office, their problem. LOL

I've always been the one working on things and having to go get what I need. Pretty ignores me when I'm working on something.

I will be on to manual labor here soon as we want to get the Magum buffed out and waxed!

Most people work as assistants. However an ace spiker can do nothing without a setter.

My husband is the boss and I am the helper, even if often I am the one who has to "correct" what he is doing. The site has some problems this morning.

Yvonne is the boss regardless of what we are doing.. She knows best.. Easier just to nod my head . And get on with it

I am not told anything but often I am the go pher. Bob likes to go for things, though.

There are roles where one is the boss and the other the assistant

I suppose I'm a go pher as in I live alone so I have to go pher everything that I might need

When hubby is doing things I often do like you

it depends, if it has something to do with electronics, it is my husband who is the boss. But doing something around the house like carpentry or things like that, I am the boss

My situation is if I don't do it myself or get it it ain't getting done,

I usually like to do things on my own. But every now and then, I need some help and I always ask for help when I need it. Like when I get this portable catio, you can bet I won’t know how to put it together. So I will ask the guys in my life to do it for me. Judy, I have to show you this thing. I think my cats will love it. I’ll be needing it for my new place. I plan on growing all kinds of cat-friendly weeds, catnip, and grass inside.

My wife has good ideas when we work on a project as well. The rule is to cut down the good idea first and then wait a little bit after I try what I want and it fails, then have a voila! moment where I spit out her idea and claim it as my own and then tell her she should listen to me more often.

At this stage in my life I'm probably neither as I get someone else to do it

I think with us it very much depends on what job we arew undertaking. I help him with his jobs and he helps me with mine ...our boss and do what roles change accordingly.

I recall a comic strip where the boss introduces an employee to a client. To impress the client, the employee says "I am the go-getter in this place". The boss then tells him " go and get two cups of tea for us". I attend to basic issues in my house but no complicated ones. My wife is good at solving issues that may escape my understanding.

I have to do everything myself! Still, I can work at my own pace

Hubby and I never worked on a project together as he always procrastinated about the projects that needed to be done. I have since completed 80% of the home projects.
