Oi
So, the good news is that it was an awesome weekend. Walking into the playhouse and having a tidal wave of people assaulting me with shouts of greeting was great. Heading to the cabin the next day with peoples and swimming/bbq'n was also wonderful. Sleeping well for two nights in a row was just icing on the cake.
But today, things went back to the bad. I had scheduled a meeting with AT&T wireless to come in and do a demo of their blackberry devices. I had a feeling things weren't going to go quite right (they never do when you have 10-15 director level people in on conference room), but I didn't figure the guy would be a no show... That's right, when I called the rep I was politely informed that he had another meeting that was running over and that he would call me when it was done. Over two and a half hours later, he called.
Now, I'm not an inflexible guy, but my bosses are. They were laughing, but pissed. They didn't blame me, but it's still my fault for all intents and purposes. Even if it isn't directly my fault, I'm still the one looking like an ass. Needless to say, this AT&T guy is going to get an earful of angry German. Time to warm up the ovens...
