Why do people call me and leave a message that says, "I'm on my way in, in the car right now. Okay, I really need to speak with you and go over some things. So, check my calendar and set up a meeting." First off this message is being left for me at 10 to 9 which, come on. This couldn't wait ten minutes? Is it really that important that people in other cars see you on your phone, waiving your hands around like you're on an important call, when all you're really doing is leaving me a completely pointless message? Do you think that so and so in the car next to you is thinking, "Wow, he must be really important. Look at how he moves his hands in the air! I must take down his license plate and find out his name so I can get him a job with my company!" Please.

Secondly, why are you calling me to tell me that you really need to talk to me and then leave it with "set up the meeting". How about no. How about you're the the one who wants to chat YOU SET UP THE MEETING. It's such a passive agressive way of being like I'm super busy but we simply must have this meeting where I'm going to give you all this work to do that I will then in turn take credit for and you're a peon so you have to find the time to talk to me and I'm more important than you so neener neener neener. It's like the office equivalent of a dick measuring contest, only I'm a chick and I'm not playing. So really you're just twisting in the wind out there big guy.
