Most people are happy to see Thursday come to their week... it means Friday is is near and soon the weekend. Thursday to me means a long day and this week it's put pins in the cupie doll known as Aunt Ing...
Allow me to document my latest foot-in-mouth issue. This week Monday we were again testing 6 AM to 6 PM of course our guy in early called my office mate wondering where the tester was.... we had no clue. We had tester A on the schedule to arrive at 6 AM. She was not answering her phone. We got hold of tester B who then informed us that he overslept and that tester A was out of town due to a family emergency and he was on deck and over slept... then he proceeded to tell us he'd be in in 30-45 minutes - and hour plus later he sauntered in and in total was 2 hours late.
Now here is the kicker - on the instant message where no less than 10 people are waiting for this dork - I stupidly said "my apologies for the napper he's on his way in" Which apparently got some one's knickers in a twist - aka Test A when she returned to work - which also means Tester B told on me. Grow a set son and face me, you're taller than me by a foot and out weigh me by a good 40 pounds... seriously?
So I did apologize for the statement - hence the foot and mouth - but then the kick in the head came with an email from the lead tester - the boss of both tester A and B.... saying this was as result of previous issues with me... WHAT? I'm sorry I tell your testers to get to work on time and do their jobs and I'm the bad guy?!? WTH? So in typical fashion for me I retreat into my protect crouch most of the day and then went to my company boss... told him what happen and thank goodness for my sanity he agreed with me. So I'm not crazy... nice to have a validation of my thinking.
On top of all that - Thursday turned into a very long day --- what fun.
Now I'm home, fed and Bubba is giving me the stink eye. Wrapping this day up with a cherry don't you think?
When can I drink?
