Jennifer Janssen is having one of those days. She works in the fi-nance department of Best Buy, and one of the company's elec-tronics suppliers is furious be-cause he claims he has not been paid. "He told me, 'I'm not going to ship any more product to your company unless I get this issue resolved,'" she says. She has to fix the problem by the end of the day, but the 35-year-old mother of 5-year-old twins also has to pick up her children from day care. What happens next? Perhaps she makes a sheepish call to her husband, asking if he could skip out early while she puts out the fire at work. (Again?) Maybe she scrambles madly to find someone who can clean up the mess in time for her to sneak out at 4. (Did anyone see me?) Or perhaps, after another late night, she spends the car ride home wondering whether she should just quit. (This time, I swear!)
