OK, I need a reality check. Installation went bad at 3. I ran my stuff that bore that out. They promised me an hour. I had an appointment to something completely frivolous, 6 weeks in the making (haircut.) When at 5, there was no resolution, I bailed. Had I not had the appt, I would have stuck around. I don't have home access. Should I have stuck around and not slopped the tests onto someone else?
Part of this angst is that this is the first install in my new position and I hated that I bailed. At the same time, if it weren't something frivolous, like I had kids to pick up or a parent to take to the doctor (a case this evening), it would be considered reasonable. But you know, it's my life and time too.
I think this is the first time I've really run into my expected uber-avail as a single person.
eta: it's apparent I want to be in the right. But I may not be.
I've been having conversations about this recently. If you have to go, you have to go, no matter what for. You planned accordingly -- thing at 3, an hour to deal, one more hour after that -- right?
ita, I hope the new specialist can actually help you.
I keep rationalizing as a business agreement. Had I cancelled, the business would be out $60 I contracted with them. (Hell, that's more than I'd make in those 2 hours I was absent work.) Even if it was only an appointment, not a contract. And I got something out of it. Erm.
When I made the appt, the stupid install was not on the schedule.
You were right to bail, sarameg. Work does not own you, and they don't even hold the lease after 5.
Good luck with the new specialist, ita.
Heidi Klum was tying her baby's diaper on with string because she didn't know how to work the tabs. Britney Spears helped her figure it out.
I just watched that -- you've got to see the clip. She was laughing really hard, and it was right after she was saying how Britney wasn't invited to her Halloween party, but was there anyway. Hilarious.
Jesus. Just DUH. I mean. DUH. It is inconceivable to me that Heidi Klum didn't think to ask her nanny how to diaper her kid if she didn't know. I call bullshit.
Grace is learning to mimic. K was making a face at her and this was her response.
No, no -- she was definitely snarking on Brit.
