Mini Rant: Meeting Request!
Office life can be annoying at the best of times, whether you’re having to deal with the office retard, unacceptable levels of noise or the constant stream of red tape and paperwork. But one thing that really pisses me off – and happens at least once every week – is when people mark me as a required attendee to a meeting that they have booked for outside of our working hours.
This company pays me to be here from 8am to 5pm every day. It’s a long enough working day already without these pricks booking meetings from 430 to 530, or from 5 to 6.
I could understand it if the other attendees were all fully booked all day and the meeting is to addess some matter of great urgency that can’t be discussed early the next day, but this is simply never the case. They book these late meetings regardless of whether everyone was available earlier, or whether they could just be postponed to the next day – and as far as I can tell their motivation is simply to avoid going home!
Clearly these people have either married a total bitch and want to keep away from her for as much of their life as possible, or they have planted some Demon Seed in her belly and she has spawned a 21st Century Damien, leading them to do everything in their power to keep away from the house until the evil little cunt-turd is in bed!
Well, you can go ahead and work until midnight every day if that’s what you want. But don’t include me in your misery. Enjoy your meeting. I’ll be at home, relaxing with my thoughts.
And yes. That IS a euphamism.
