Thank God for the many incredibly GOOD people I know (see that link a few posts back), cause they do help make up for the complete jackasses n my life…
Today I am outside taking a quick break, when Sideshow Bob and Gomer Pyle (his second in command) come strolling up. They’re here for some meeting with someone and say, “Hey, you should probably be in it.”
Crap. I say OK, I’ll be up in a few minutes.
I get up there, they are shooting the breeze w/ someone else, I get tired of waiting and tell another person to let me know when this actually gets going. (We’re all on the same floor, all in pretty much the same area)
So, I go back to my desk, get some things done, and wait and wait and freaking wait. Well, seems they decided I didn’t need to be there, but couldn’t be bothered to say, “Oh, don’t worry about it.”
Now, I don’t care a whit about the meeting - I am thrilled that I didn’t have to be in it. But because no one had the damn common courtesy to let me know I was off the hook for it, I wasted just as much time WAITING (I did get some things done, but YKWIM), and ended up getting lunch about an hour later than I’d planned on. (Again, not a huge thing, but damn, I needed to eat.)
And he is going to wonder why I am leaving.
