boring work post
Today I had a meeting booked with someone in an office about 10 minutes away from mine.
The manager who organised the meeting was not attending and coincidently had a meeting with someone here in my office at the same time.
She had arrived at my office and said hello to me and stuff and then I said well I’m off to the blah building and left for my meeting.
When I had walked the ten minutes and arrived at my meeting, there was no one there. I waited a while and then called back to my office to talk to the manager. Who then told me that the meeting was yesterday!
Seriously, there are so many annoying things about this its ridiculous.
Why didn’t they call me when I didn’t turn up yesterday?
Why didn’t the manager say something to me when she arrived at my office today?
Why didn’t I tell the manager specifically that I was going to that meeting when I left?
Why didn’t the manager think it was a coincidence that I was going to her building at the same time as our meeting that I didn’t attend yesterday?
Why don't they just use the scheduling system or email instead of organising meetings over the phone so i have no record to prove im right?

Walked to work with J today, which is always enlightening. For all those who think I may be a little blunt to J on the phone sometimes, or perhaps see me roll my eyes when the phone rings, this is kind of communication I am dealing with on a daily basis.
Apparently J answers the phone at work with ‘hello, blah blah, ict services’ but he says it as fast as he can whilst still enunciating the words so that the person on the other end hopefully gets rattled and then J will have the upper-hand in the conversation. ¶ 12:05 PM
