Well, one would be PLEASE, the other would be THANK YOU. I'm talking to people who seem to think the world revolves around them. You know them, the ones when your world is crashing down around you and they want to know how it's going to impact them. Because goodness knows, we have to plan our breakdowns around THEIR needs.
And no, I'm not having a breakdown...today - not that she would care. However, yesterday, even though I had a migraine, I went in to help her out because she's traveling the next week and a half. I wanted to be sure she had everything she needed.
Meanwhile, something I promised my other attorney (who was on vacation Wed-Fri) I'd do Wednesday (he'd promised it to someone for Tuesday) didn't get done until today. I had to put my foot down on that too because she didn't see the need. I told her I would stay as late as she needed me to tonight but she said she HAD to leave by 5:00 today.
We got out of the office at 5:45. The urgency for her to get out by 5:00 was because she had scheduled a racquetball game for after work. Um, excuse me, but how does that take precedence over something needed by our manager? That's right, my other attorney is her boss too.
We walked out together so I assume she had everything she needed (I gave her my home number - just in case) but it annoys the hell out of me how she treats me sometimes. Someone really needs to point out those three words I started this blog about because they apparently aren't part of her vocabulary.
That concludes this rant.........

L, I agree. The world would be a much nicer place if people would use "Please" and "Thank you" again.
I'm so sorry it was a bad week. I hope you're able to relax this weekend, play with the pups and watch a favorite movie. :)
I hammer "Please" and "Thank you" into the kids. If they don't use the magic words, they don't get what they want. Simple.
Hope things get better for you.
Um, L, maybe she needs a reminder that some people work to live, rather than live to work. Good for you for putting your foot down.
How's your Saturday? :) I hope you're feeling better!
