Don't You Just Love It When

you rush back from lunch, inhale your food at your desk while checking email and voicemails that arrived while you were out, walk all the way down to building B (2 buildings over from the one I'm in) for a meeting, wandering around in a frenzy but trying to look like you know where you’re going amongst strangers sitting in their cubes, searching for conference room D, FINALLY finding the dumb conference room, only to see that it’s pitch black with no one in it!? So you make a call from the vacant conference room and hear, “uh oh. Since you weren’t on my original meeting distribution, I guess I forgot to notify you that the meeting’s been canceled.” Yes. Yes, you did. Had I known I was going to have to go on a 2 mile hike through two buildings, elevators and up stairs, for no reason whatsoever, I would have worn more comfortable shoes. You know, the ones that weren't a 3" heel. Thanks.

I think that is Murphy's Law #2099. Don't quote me on that because after a while they all run together.

This is what my boss does to me: 10 minutes before an unannounced meeting he calls me and needs 2 weeks of research and reporting by the start of meeting and then proceeds to call me every two minutes to add some things and then 15 minutes into the meeting he calls and wants to know where I am with the information...duh!
