December 7th, 2005shopping in the city
The coworker and I are supposed to be driving to NYC right now. With a conference tomorrow, we were planning to drive down today, go shopping and have a nice evening. Tomorrow, when she was done, we’d do a bit more shopping, grab dinner and head home late.
Except the conference head cancelled her press credentials—and there aren’t any seats left. So now she’s very pissed and cranky, and I’m sad ’cause I wanted to go shopping. Chinatown people, and Bloomingdales, Sephora, Bang and Olufsen, Prada, Tiffanys… sigh. The not-so-pleasant man (who had already agreed to her credentials) said she could attend the networking reception tomorrow afternoon—but it’s two hours, and roundtrip, the drive is six. We contacted the Boss and are waiting to hear from him… should we go for the reception? Should we ignore it altogether? Can we PLEASE take the day off and go shopping?!
Yeah. Cranky.
can’t you still go shopping?

Yeah, but the other way the Boss pays for mileage, food, parking, etc…
More for shopping.

Pissed, fuming, mad as hell, angry, annoyed, frustrated and in need of booze.
We (or I) decided in our (or my) twisted little mind that the next best thing to taking a shopping trip to NY on the boss is going to the bar for lunch. On his time. On his dime. Except of course, that I don’t have the balls to bill him for lunch simply because I didn’t do my job well enough.
Sigh… is it Christmas yet?

Can’t you both forge each other a doc’s certificate saying you’re sick?
Not that I encourage delinquent behaviour like that on a regular basis, like!

And now the evil man who retracted my press credentials called while we were at the bar BOOZING and I have no idea of knowing what he wanted because now he isn’t answering the phone.
Oh shit.
WTF.
Now what?
Now I sit 3 states away without knowing WTF to do.
I’m an irresponsible no good for nothing booze bag queen of america who might still have a chance to go but missed it cause she was at the bar boozing.
WTF people, WTF.

OK forget it.
I just spoke with the weirdo and apparently he just wanted to tell me once again that I CAN’T GO.
OK weird frigger I know this.
Now leave me alone.
