This is, I suspect, one of my many faults. Today, I realised I messed up reading Outlook's calendar (which is pretty easy to do, given how slow it is at populating months with appointments) and booked a day off to catch up with the chapter that's due for Friday, and wait in for a parcel that was supposed to arrive on Monday (otherwise it will be sent back). Plus I spent all of Sat. and most of Sunday working, so could do with a break.
I email an apology for the meeting I decided I could reluctantly miss (prob. the second in two years on this project), but am clearly coming across as rude and incompetent, when in reality I am not particularly needed, and the person most concerned will be there.
But, I know this is a little rude, and my fault, so now I feel shitty and will have this evening and tomorrow ruined. I know I shouldn't really care, and just say Fuck You, but I clearly have no balls.
On the plus side, a reminder of how difficult it is to co-ordinate things with a lot of people, esp. when you're not really in charge, and can only go through the motions of approving things, when in reality it all happens in meetings off-stage. Lesson 2: always phone to cancel meetings, rather than a chicken email.
