He (BB1) sent me off

The appointment was scheduled at 11:00am. 3 mins after, I knocked on the door, was asked to be seated while he was still at the computer. I sat down. Arranged my stuff (folders, papers, keys, pens etc) on the floor . Waited...2mins. Forgot something, and ran back to the room to get folder (only 2 mins). Sat down again. He was on the  phone, infront of the computer, still. After 3 mins, he turned around and said
 
"Can we delay this for another half hour?" the time was 10 mins after 11.
 
" I have to fill up a form for a grant ."
 
" Sure" , picking up folders, papers, keys, pens etc from the floor, got up and walk to the door- silently berating him. I felt sooooo very unimportant. And he didnt even say sorry!!!!
 
But now, while writing this, looking at the time we have wasted, perhaps both of us were at fault - at 5 mins each.
