Bossette got miffed again today - she had a hairdresser appointment and she asked me to come 1.5 hours earlier than usual. I am not accostumed to arriving at the city center for that time, and I missed my street car. I phoned her on her cell and told that I am catching the next one, and I arrived some 10 minutes later.
She was still very pissy about that. When I stopped her on her way out to ask if a lecturer had left anything for her students, she basically snapped at me of being late, but at least she answered the relevant question.
The (sort of) funny thing - she had told me that the appointment was about 3 PM, and she had over an hour to reach that place. And sorry... booking an appointment into your working hours? I avoid doing that like a plague. Only a doctor's app could be an exception for me, and even that I am trying hardest not to do.
Oh, and good thing I phoned on her cell - when she had left and I looked around for our library's cordless phone... She had not even brought it into our room (it charges in another, something to do with proper sockets, etc), and thus she would not have heard me calling, and would have had even more reason to be bitchy. Just ... arghh. What is with her? I understand that she is over 70 years old but damn.....
