Oh Bugger...
Feb. 21st, 2013 10:57 amSo I get back from my break and I'm ready to roll.
My boss, not so much. Thanks to her having a cold and unable to help me with a decent catch up, I go into a meeting with my client with no information. I explained that I want to get a clean page of every issue he has and where he stands on it. I can then sort them out for him.
Sounds reasonable, right? Well, he was in a shitty mood anyway because just before our meeting, he was at one of the sites and kicked a contractor offsite, so I may have just pushed the wrong button. So now I'm banned from his office.
Which is okay, except for the fact that he accused me of lying to him.
I don't lie to my clients. Never have, never will.
So last night, my boss and I go out for dinner and she tells me what's going on. She's totally playing the martyr card saying what's the point of having me when she's doing everything.
I told her she needs to start including me in discussions she has with clients because nine out of ten times i go see a client with what i think is the right information and then, she gives them other information, making me look like an asshole.
she hinted that if i don't up my game, I may be on a plane back to SA.
Which is really unfair. I'm doing the best I can under tough circumstances and I rely on my team for accurate info.
I guess I'm just having a bad week.
I'm going to go write Dramione smut until my colleague brings my car back.
