Wednesday sarcasm
Yes. It’s Wednesday.
No. I don’t have anything important enough to write about. But that never stopped me.
Some weeks the days melt into one another. This weeks gooey mix of ice cream on concrete:
- Every meeting except one was cancelled 5 minutes after it was supposed to start.
- The one meeting I did have was with someone stressed to the limit with an impossible workload.
So — the person who had a great excuse to cancel didn’t, and the people who forgot to do what they were supposed to do cancelled.
There is only one possible explanation: She considered that being grilled for information over a 3-hour period was a break compared to her job.
I don’t want to believe that being in a meeting with me for two hours is one notch below dying from pancreatic cancer, but the evidence is there.
So today, I do the Monday mundane parts of the job, like filing. Lots and lots of filing.
Perhaps I’ll call the dentist and see if I can get a tooth filled instead.

Different people have different priorities. Some care about their obligations, others do not. My question to you is: “Why do you call so many meetings?”

Once a year, there is an annual review for each person served. I help write the reviews with staff and, at the same time, I’m helping staff understand the paperwork and how to use their time better. The meetings are scheduled 2 weeks to a month in advance.

We are experiencing weather cancellations on all plans yesterday and today (Thurs. the 19th of September. I even canceled my class yesterday and had we met again today, I would have canceled again.
A rainy day, a good book, and a cup of coffee–my idea of Paradise.
I do feel sorry for the people who are flooding! Television coverage is distressing.

I hit “like” but that’s to provide moral support. 🙂 I lived in Houston for a year.

To one of the replies. If I “liked” it without explanation, it might seem brutal.
