Grrr.
I came in an hour early today. I'm finishing my work up, and my boss comes into my office.
"We need to do two things to Client X's site."
He gives me a basic rundown, even though he's already emailed me all the details. Once he's finished, I ask him, "So, when do we need these done?"
"Today. I know that if we wait, he'll call me at home tomorrow, and I don't want him calling me during the weekend."
...
I said nothing, but in my mind, blood was boiling. "Oh, " I thought, "so this is all about your weekend. You don't want your weekend ruined. I have to pull an extra hour or so today so that your precious weekend remains sacrosanct, while I gave up my weekend last week so that we could hit a surprise deadline. I'm glad what I want doesn't enter into the equation, because that would get in the way of what you want."
I thought Fridays were supposed to be good days. Today feels like a Monday, other than getting paid.
