Being cornered
These English with their subtlety in some things never ceased to amaze me.
I have not had a meeting with BB1 for nearly 3 months now. This is by far the longest ever since he came back from sabbatical! Reason being, I needed to finish the report that BB2 wants me to do and one thing leads to another...hence the 3 months. During these times, I have been dodging BB1 like mad, apart from those coincidental encounters. At times, I felt guilty when he caught me and BB2 discussing along the corridor. The thing is, BB1 makes me nervous. I notice that I talked incoherently(like someone who cannot talk English) to him if I go to the meeting unprepared. Resulting in awkward moments and by the end feeling demotivated. Not that I don't go to BB2 unprepared. But if preparation to see BB2 takes 10 minutes,the Preparation to meet BB1 would take 1 week, including writing to him an email, listing down items to discuss in the meeting.
Just half an hour ago, BB1 knocked on my door. I was on the phone, he said he'll come back later. I then knocked on his door..naturally. He said he wanted to know 'Were we supposed to meet this week, because I must have missed it in in my diary'... Funny ..funny.. he bloody well knows that the reason he did not write the 'meeting' in his diary because there isn't suppose to be one! OOOh Phil u are such a darling..Rather than saying ..I command you to come and see me this week because it's high time that we discuss things, he just made-believed that I had come to him in his dream and asked for a meeting! Obviously I can't put off seeing him much longer, and since I've been cornered, I said ooo I am just going to email you for an appointment(I was goin to anyway). Could we do it Friday? ..last day of the week.. ;).
