Yesterday was not my day. Maybe this whole week, has not been my week. After letting me know that my department is going out for lunch to a fancy restaurant today and I'm not invited, plus from noon til 2pm I'll have to cover for the assistant, which means that I'll have lunch after 2pm (which I'll be starving by then.....). I wrote my boss a very polite email, letting her know that I also have lunch plans for today. That I can gladly cover for the assistant from noon to 1pm, but after that I have a personal engagement. It was no surprise to me that after reading my email she would march to my office and demand to get an honest and valid answer to "why I was not going to help out during the 2 hours they'll be gone". Though I explained to her my reasons for having to leave before they would arrive, still I knew she was not convince, thinking I was being too selfish. And I was right!! For the next 6 hours she question my engagement, my normal lunch time, arguing that I always take it around 1.30pm, and finally telling me she did not believe me at all about my lunch plans and that I was acting like a brat..... Knowing her, I'm actully surprise that it took her a whole day of work to finally tell me what her selfish tiny brain was really thinking all along. Of course is hard for her to understand that I have lunch plans with someone else, since she has no friends but her husband. Of course is hard for her to see that I'll be sacrificing my lunch and probably be starving by the time they get here, cause she always takes her at noon no matter what. Of course I'm not surprise, cause she just thinks about herself, and becomes totally clueless about everyone else's life....
As I think things can't get any better, as I'm leaving the parking lot, I get a call from the company I already went to 2 interviews. I thought it was to tell me that I didn't pass the last interview and they wanted to let me know. But instead it was to ask me if I could go to a 3rd and final interview. I was like WHAT!!!??? Seriously!!!??? Of Course!!! LOL I'm going today at 5.30pm, this time a little more prepare cause once again I'll be interview by an Indian, but feeling like there might be a light at the end of this tunnel.
