Almost time to call it a day here.
My wonderful PM told one of the managers here last week that I was coming out early to have a very important meeting with the PM. That would be the very important meeting on Monday which never happened because there wasn't one and the PM didn't drag his backside out of bed until 11.30am.
He then told another manager today that I was here for an important meeting tomorrow with a few managers. He didn't tell the others about it. They aren't available and have suggested re-scheduling to... next Tuesday.
i.e. he's lied to several others about why I'm here. His plans have fallen apart.
Today I have done SQRT(Fcall).
Tomorrow I shall be doing less, then heading back to Tokyo at about 4.30pm.

He was hoping that things would just happen and if they didn't happen, he was hoping that he'd have one person to blame (not necessarily me). That's his normal style of management.
Oh, that and announcing in meetings that you will be doing work that you know nothing about, but he's already told others you're doing it.
(can you sense a smidgen of tension/annoyance coming from me?)
In other news, was at a lovely Korean BBQ last night and by the time I land in LHR on Thursday I'll have BA Gold, so the trip hasn't been a total WOFTAM.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

At times like that I publish a calendar of work so that's it obvious what I am doing when.Originally posted by WTFH View PostHe was hoping that things would just happen and if they didn't happen, he was hoping that he'd have one person to blame (not necessarily me).

But BA gold should make it just about worthwhileLast edited by eek; 11 October 2016, 06:56.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I don't care who he is, he's not coming into the lounge as my guest!
Ask BrilloPad about his divorces. They haven't killed him yet.Originally posted by vetran View PostWhat doesn't kill you makes you richer!
...actually, that's got me thinking. Bloke with several ex wives and a bit mouthy... has anyone seen Brillo and Donald Trump in the same room at the same time?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
