Or is the only solution to find another job with another manager who does care? Much harder.

I am looking for solutions. "So deep is the creative spirit that you will discover its limits, even if you search every trail." My "farmer" is a barefooted beauty who works at a desk across from me, all day, and she's gorgeous and kind and creative and everybody loves her. (At I am not crying, though.

When I'm fried creatively, I go exercise or run errands. I find I'm at my most creative from 7 – 11:30 am. After that I'm not creative and have to work on grunt work. I get to socialize with my colleagues and get creative mixing ideas as well as time alone to concentrate and focus while working from home.

I guess there’s no real solution besides maybe trying to understand other people’s priorities. Put up some curtains or something if you want to be creative.

One flaw I railed at for years was the lack of creative, spontaneous unfettered time. Now I schedule time to find connections, be creative, listen and daydream during each day, even if it is only for 15 minutes. The whole "shiny object syndrome" that you describe seems to be a common character trait of creative people.

And I love your solution in your #4 point. So I wonder, does anyone have other solutions? But I love your creative excuse for not doing it. The bid process -itemized- educates you as to the range of options and possible solutions available. It could be for men and women too. But I guess it is a logistical nightmare.
