Oh dear. I had a telecon planned with someone in the US. I’d talked to some of his colleagues in the same group and they were in Minneapolis so I sent him an email saying if you are in Minneapolis then I will call at 3pm (UK)/ 9am (MN)! He replies, yes the timings are fine. I call today at 3pm ….. guess what. Apparently it’s 7am in the morning, he’s just leaving to go to work in ….. CALIFORNIA!! wtf? So after much embarassing grovelling for calling so early I managed to reschedule. Oh dear. Worse still I thought I’d better check the other guy we are calling tomorrow (also the same group) and he’s not in MN either, he’s in Pennsylvania!! So this week we would have had one 2 hrs early and one 1 hr late!! Good think I checked for tomorrow! He probably thinks I’m some English fruitcake!
Summary of the day: Met up with some guy from E.On, Prepped for the interview, Rang up, Rescheduled!! Came home to find hubby had made a Chicken Chasseur from scratch (me thinks he’s been pretending he can’t cook so that I do it, as it was very tasty indeed).
