My real problem with people who overwork a question is that they think because they’ve worked so hard they deserve more credit and praise for their work. I’m sorry, but if you just spent 2 days doing a 1 hour project, then you should be fired and not praised. Unfortunately, most people that overwork a project don’t realize that they spent way too much time spinning their wheels. All they see is the long hours, hard work and time spent on that project. They don’t see that they could have come up with the same result in an hours work. Therefore, they feel unappreciated when their extra effort isn’t awarded and praised. I’m sorry, but there’s just something wrong with this picture.

If you have ever worked on a project and complained to yourself that you shouldn’t have spent that much time on a project. Then, you are probably not who I’m talking about. I’m talking about people who create a mountain out of a mole hill. The funny part is that if they read this post, they still wouldn’t get it. They’d be too busy creating a 5 page report on why this post doesn’t apply to them.
