workaday Thursday
Jan. 16th, 2025 07:42 amThere's a weekly meeting on Thursdays from 9:30 am to 10 am -- a VERY REASONABLE amount of time for a meeting to run. Yesterday afternoon, I was suddenly scheduled into a SECOND morning meeting that's scheduled from 10 to 11 am. UNACCEPTABLE.
Do they not realize that the 10-11 am hour is when I make my coffee??? When I check the drought monitor for the Thursday update? These are ESSENTIAL parts of my Thursday experience!
Mostly I'm cranky because the meeting has the word "training" in the title, and there are only two other attendees. One of them started on Monday, so presumably they're not the one leading the training. Which means it's either being led by the third attendee (who has a very important title but has almost nothing to do with the process), or it's supposed to be being led by me, and no one told me. WHY IS WORK LIKE THIS???
