And I'm ready to start cursing people out here at work.

You see, last week, one of our events coordinators asked me to attend a meeting with her and a few MS clients, just in case, the clients had any medical questions that I can answer. Well, she called me from her cell phone, approx. 2 hours before the meeting, and said that she had cancelled the meeting. Well, two of the attendees evidently didn't get her E-mail and showed up. I, of course, had to be the one to give them the bad news, and they of course were a little annoyed that they weren't informed. One of the gentlemen was in a wheelchair so I felt doubly bad to tell him.

Anyway, I'm pissed off cause the same thing just happened today. The meeting was cancelled, again by the same person, and that same man in the wheelchair showed up, and again I had to give him the bad news. This time, the man, on his way out, gave me a piece of his mind. It wasn't pretty, and there was nothing I can say so I just stood there taking it all in, and thinking how I will repay my co-worker when I see her.

How should I handle this? I feel like calling her right now and literally cursing her out but I also feel like keeping my job. I just feel for that man having to come here in a wheelchair in this weather and she doesn't even look like she cares.

It's times like this that make me wanna work on my own.

A) buy the guy who was put out lunch..it's probably all he wants anyways.

B) Take something of yours and plant it in her area/drawers/purse, then make a big show of how your sunglasses/wallet/Benwa Balls/CockRing is missing and then "find" it in her cube.

C) Call in Yail..he's an expert at black ops.

I gave him some cake. There was another meeting going on in one of the other conference rooms, and they were also celebrating someone's birthday, so I thought it'd at least make the commute home a bit easier. :oops:

Report her to the person she reports to. It's fuckin' unprofessional for her to continue to do that unless, of course, she has a valid reason to cancel these appointments (eg, her leg was amputated, her vehicle was totalled, etc). But, she should've called those people directly. In the future, you can give her the person's phone number so that she can do so.

Push back!

Yeah, the mind wanders; nobody does revenge like Yail Bloor...


But, for your purposes OPA:

Don't call this person about your problem; instead you need to have a face to face meeting either sceduled or a "Mrs. ______ can I talk to you for a minute. Write down what you want to say beforehand so that you can organize your thoughts. Make eye contact. Don't so much blame your boss as express how much the situation was bad for you.

Then, leave a pubic hair on her soda can (the Clarence Thomas special)

What really pisses me off about this is, this isn't even my meeting. I only did it as a favor to her, yet I'm the one having to deal with her attendees. Oh, she's gonna get it.

LMFAO, i'd love to hear how you'd explain why you bring you Benwa Balls/CockRing to work. That scene has Curb Your Enthusiasm written all over it.

that's bullshit. you should just wheel that dude into her office and be like "this guy is fucking hungry. feed him you bitch or tell him yourself why you can't make it"




then kick her in the crotch.

So the next time she asks, tell her, "no", and explain -- honestly -- why.

Tell her your friend, who has MS, thinks that she is a bad person.
How could she do this to people like me?!?!

As an MS-afflicted individual I feel like we have been targeted for discrimination and abuse. We will march, roll, and hobble in protest against the MS Society until we ALL get our free lunch AND medicinal marijuana!!!

Seriously, that sucks. She had better have a good excuse.

Dropkick the bitch down a couple flights of stairs and then send a wheelchair down on top of her so she can wheel herself to the ICU.

Save her a piece of that cake, but add some of your special frosting before you give it to her.

No, but one of Yail's specialties is having a gang of them pipe hittin brothers roll through on a motherfucker.
