Topic: Would this bug you? | |
---|---|
I work in an office where there are other people who sublet offices. I'm not employed by them, we just share space. Today, MR. VP, wanted to know if I would be there tomorrow morning at 8 because he was expecting a very important package. I told him yes, I would be, and he wanted to know if that was an affirmative, because if there was no one there the package wouldn't be delivered and he'd be screwed.

The guy probably meant no harm just lacked consideration. Happens all the time. (about Hobbes?) |

Wasn't a very good conversation starter. But it was an effort.
