My Week at Work So Far, a recap-

You tell your boss there's a meeting going on about something, a meeting an artist was nice enough to fill you in on, and when your boss asks her boss about the meeting he has no clue about the meeting. You are now totally emberassed because it sounds like you just made up a meeting. Turns out the meeting was cancelled, but the artist who was setting it up forgot to tell you.

You miss vital information about one of your projects because you were late for a meeting. The reason you were late for a meeting was because you were busy corralling your boss into the meeting. And the report that had all the information that would have helped you get that information without even attending the meeting you never saw because someone forgot to give it to you.

You try and be proactive by sending the boss a list of all the projects you're working on right before she gets chewed out by her boss. The end result is you getting chewed out for not being pro-active enough about a project that you had well in hand but not as well in hand as it looks to someone who just got chewed out for not having something well in hand.

You constantly slip-up while speaking and unwittingly have he other person freak out because you left out a word or phrased something wrongly.

You try and request information without really knowing what the information you are requesting really is and get it all wrong.

Oh yeah, it's been a really good week so far.
