Conversations with my boss…

My boss and another co-worker of mine were looking for me late yesterday afternoon (after 4:30pm).  Needless to say, I wasn’t around and today I’m getting the third degree… 

Via email…

Boss:  Were you in the office yesterday afternoon?  Co-worker and I were trying to reach you.  I also didn’t see you on Instant Messenger. 

Me:  yes, i was here

Boss:  Then why couldn’t we reach you?  You’re also not in Instant Messenger.  It was quite an ordeal and we needed your help.

Me:  Sorry, that you couldn’t reach me.  I keep forgetting to log on to Instant Messenger.  I’m on now. 

Now, via Instant Messenger…

Boss (08:59:51): I’m still really feeling unsure about yesterday afternoon. If you were still there, where were you that we couldn’t reach you for an hour?

Me (09:00:46): Boss, I don’t know what to tell you

Me (09:01:02): i;m in and out of my cube all day long

Me (09:01:22): i feel bad that you couldn’t get a hold of me

Me (09:01:42): is there anything that i can help you with now???

Boss (09:01:43): you never responded to co-worker’s email either, did you? I didn’t get copied if you did

Me (09:06:00): no i didn’t respond to it

Boss (09:07:29): well, why?

Me (09:09:04): because i didn’t see it until this morning

Boss (09:09:15): why?

Me (09:11:14): unfortunately, i just didn’t see it until this morning

Me (09:12:02): and i spoke to co-worker and she said it was cared for

Boss (09:15:59): I guess you’re missing the point

Boss (09:25:04): You support me, as well as report to me. I needed you yesterday on a quick-turnaround to Big Boss #1 and Big Boss #2. I did the work myself because we couldnt’ reach you. What would you suggest for future so this doesn’t occur again?

Me (09:34:33): Boss, I don’t know what you want me to tell you? This is a total fluke. I am usually at my desk all day long, because I don’t want to give people a reason to talk. All I can say is that I’ll try to be more available than I already am.

This is working in a corporate environment sucks!!  This was technically not my work to do, it was my co-workers work and because she wasn’t around I am scrutinized!!!  I hate this fucking job!!!

Weekend Drama Wrap-Up: Part 2

Arrgghh…the Drama continues…

Thelma and Louise strike again!!  If you’ve read my previous post about weekend drama (click here to read it) you know the back story. 

It’s come to the point where the mutual friends have to start choosing.  For the most part, when we want to do something we invite both Thelma and Louise.  Usually, if Louise knows that Thelma is attending she will not attend.  Thelma has no issue with Louise, she could care less is Louise hangs out with us.  Truthfully, the one person that is suffering from this situation is Louise.  She is missing out from all the fun because she just can’t get over the situation.  Boo Freaking Hooo!!  GET OVER IT!!!  So, now Louise is not speaking to me because she thinks I chose Thelma over her.  I really didn’t but that point is moot. 

When I found out that Louise was mad at me, I reached out and called her.  She didn’t answer the phone, so I left a voice-mail and told her that we needed to clear the air and to call me back.  Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I make 1 phone call.  I did my duty and sought out my hurt friend.  I will not call her again, I will not email her and beg her to call me back.  I do not play these childish games.  I have a TON of friends and a lot of them are waiting to make first string, so if there is an opening on the varsity team, then someone from the Jr. varsity team will get moved up!!  So, there!! 

I can’t stand all this fucking drama between the girls.   Thelma has offered to call Louise and apologize in order to clear the air.  But I told her that if her apology isn’t sincere, and if she truly doesn’t think she needs to aapologize then she shouldn’t call and aapologize.  That could possibly make the situation worse. 

Here I am today, 1 friend down, and possibly a little bit happier because I don’t have to deal with all the stupid, fucking bullshit!!  I prefer living in a cloud of ignorance.
