A long overdue baking analogy about work.

I'm trying to complete as much work as possible before taking off this Friday night, but everyday some new challenge would pop up.

Today's bizarre problem:
"Yes, I'm preparing a recipe for this cake.
No, I didn't bake that cake.
You need a recipe for that cake and that baker is no longer available?
And I have to give you the recipe for that cake because it's from the same oven as my cake?"

So after a heated discussion, my team is going to do the necessary evil just to get it over and done with.

Ga. And you are sipping granitas on the other side of the world.
