the adventures of errand boy

there is such a character as errand boy. he, like his title suggests, does a lot of errands for several people. he is neither a strange character like batman, nor a superperson like er, superman. he does not have powers. he just can't say no.

before we judge errand boy on his lack of gut to refuse an errand, let us first look at the circumstances affecting errand boy.

1. errand boy is an overachiever. he likes doing stuff because it gives him a high. and there is so little time.
judgement: it's his fault he has a lot of errands. it is what he thinks the best use of his life. there is too much to do, he asks for them.

2. there is always a burning need to get certain things done, and there is only a few who want to do them. some matters, not-so-urgent ones become fatally urgent when piled up.
judgement: so, does errand boy need to do them all? (or at least most of them?)

3. errand boy lets himself be bullied. well if you can't do it, find someone who would. if there's nobody who would do it in their own free will, bully someone.
judgement: poor errand boy, but he really should stand up and learn to pity his tired, tired body and soul.

so there. we shall now cast our final judgement: errand boy is a nice person, but he is utterly stupid, although he is very productive. he should focus his energy to activities that will have gain on him more, than on other people. (which isn't bad in this situation) until he sees the light, he's doomed.
