Corporate fun.

Last Friday I scheduled a 30min face to face with high ranking finance dude for me and my boss for important step in making my job more doable. Dude accepted terms and location.

Boss and I both drive in JUST for this meeting. (41 miles roundtrip for me, 25 for my boss)

1pm no dude.
1:10 no dude.
No cell phone listed on internal employee directory and number that is listed goes straight to voicemail.

We find someone that knows his cell # and call him.

He...
a) forgot about meeting.
B) works from home.
C) isn't happy we called his cell and wants us to call his landline.

Which we do landline attempts twice again but vm both times. Call cell and explain. Asks to try landline again. My boss speaks up and tells him that we both drove in from homes JUST to meet him in person.
He says cell will be fine. It is now 1:25.

We proceed with phone meeting. 20mins later at 1:45 we are done. I could have driven home but had a 2pm call so had to stay as I need laptop usage for brainstorming call.

But it's all better than being unemployed!
