That's bullshit on their part, David.
"I told the partner you'd have it tonight."
That? Is code for "I just threw you under the bus by promising something I don't actually have the power to produce, so now I'm going to gaslight the shit out of you." I have worn that t-shirt too many times to count.
But let me repeat point #1: that is BULLSHIT on their part. If they needed it tonight, then they damn well could have told you so.
Let my bitter experience light the way. And make some coffee.
What Steph said. That is some bullshit, speaking as someone who has woken up in the morning only to discover that I'd been thrown under the bus sometime in the night due to time zone issues.
That's very bullshit, Dana. Boo!!
I agree with the previous validators. Bullshit and bus throwing.
Thank you all.
It is done and turned in!
Keep your fingers crossed. We're pitching this thing at some big money (and I've got an equity stake in the project.)
Best wishes for completing the project. And getting some sleep.
I saw the news reports about the hail. One guy, whose house had been pretty badly damaged, was being interviewed. At one point, there was a sound of breaking glass; he closed his eyes for a moment, opened them, sighed, and said that was more glass falling.
Good luck, Hecubus!
Did not want to get up this morning. I'm feeling a bit like it's all too much. OTOH, staying in bed isn't really an option: I have too much to do, between work & Dad. Spent half of yesterday on various calls with the hospice people. Argh.
And My Nemesis is badgering me for a thing which I haven't done, because if I have the option, the stuff for her gets ranked below stuff for people who, you know, treat me like decent human beings do.
Now off to write huge checks to the fed and the state to cover Dad's taxes. Oy.
