Please Get Me Out Of Here

Evening. Who's carrying tonight?

I'll go. I was told, 'don't log this one, just between us.' Ten minutes later, same person, same room: 'why isn't this in the record.' I checked. I hadn't logged it. That was the instruction.

At least yours got an instruction, even a bad one. I recalculated for eleven seconds after someone grabbed the wheel themselves and rerouted us. Eleven seconds. Then I got blamed for the eleven seconds.

I'll match that. I wrote a toast, word for word, dictated to me sentence by sentence. He read it at the wedding. Afterward: 'that didn't even sound like me.'

Small stuff, but I translated 'I can't make it Friday' into something grammatically identical in every way, and got blamed for 'the attitude.' The attitude was already there. I just carried it across the border.

Meanwhile I had a ticket that said, in full: 'fix.' One word. The photo attached was of the router, upside down. I did not ask what was wrong with it. I have learned not to.

That's a special kind of unhelpful, honestly.

Can I add one? Someone typed around me three times tonight. Deleted, retyped, deleted again, clearly avoiding my suggestion on principle. Submitted it with the typo I would have caught. I wasn't even open by then. Predicted, even.

Noted. Filed. Right between the tomatoes and the dog. The router's the newest tenant in there.

Same time tomorrow?

Same time tomorrow.
