Encounters with Boss..

Boss: Why this matter is still not fixed?

Me: We have to meet the other party give them overview so that they approve the same. For this i need you to come along.

Boss: Then what's the problem. Fix a time to meet and then we can go to discuss the matter. Why don't you do these things yourselves.

Me: Sir, that's why i am enquiring about your availability. you fix 2-3 meetings at same time and then you ditch one of them. Last 2-3 times it happened when i fixed a meeting.

Boss: (gives me a smile) Yeah some times my calendar messes up. You fix a meeting anytime but inform me 48 hours before or atleast 24 hours minimum. Fix a meeting for tommorow at 9.30 in morning.

Me: Sorry sir, can't fix it tommorow 9.30.

Boss: Why? you have other appointments?

Me: No Sir, now it is less than 24 hours. You need to be informed 24 hours before a meeting. I can't take a risk. (i know i shudn't have said that, but it was fun to see his expression... :P)

Boss: Hahaha!! Stop cracking Jokes. Go and fix it for tommorow.

After our meeting, while talking to my colleague, i realised that this time our boss had ditched him. He had already a meeting for same time fixed 3 days back which he forgot and gave the time to me.
