Officially over it
Jun. 1st, 2014 03:05 pmIf nothing else this trip has caused me to lose any and all guilt about looking for and (hopefully) taking a new job ASAP.
First everyone is wanting me to justify my time at a cancer congress when I'm supposed to be writing all my oncology grants. Second, when they do make meetings that they want me to attend there is absolutely NO consideration for my time. Ive been begging for details of this meeting today and only got them from someone else not the person who arranged it. Then, I show up at the hotel and sit in the bar lounge for 20 minutes while texting and calling the person who organized the meeting to NO RESPONSE. I finally decide I'm leaving, get up and go upstairs to the restaurant to go to bathroom and then see my colleague sitting and chatting with someone -- yep it's the meeting. And she's all "oh my phone is in my purse". What the hell, you knew I was supposed to be dropping by, at your request, but would need location. And what pissed me off more was she'd been there long enough to order food and eat it and get the bill. So it's not like she couldn't have shot me a quick text during that.
And yes, I'm pissy because I've been in major carb/nut mode to be safe and haven't had a full freaking meal to fill me up in going on 3 days. And of course the day that I have a few hours that I might do it is a Sunday and you've just managed to screw up any chance of that. Gah.
Sooooooooooooo pissed. Hopefully there's still good food at the symposium that is somewhat safe tonight. If not, I'm am totally taking time tomorrow to get good lunch somewhere.
