No one's getting nuthun'

on my boss's calendar for the week of 1/20.

Took me ALL day to straighten that sucker out and still leave him time to do something other than meet with people.

I went into his online calendar and whatever empty spots there were, I filled them w/ the word "block." When anyone goes to look at it, they'll know he has NO availability.

The only way I'm changing anything in that week is if the world is coming to an end.

I know he's your boss and you're getting paid to do a job, but that was awfully nice of you.

(Hey, I've got a bottle in the car. Think if I take a sip or two at lunch I might not be so stressed about the afternoon calendar shuffle?)

just a 30 minute discussion on something that I think is vitally important and has to be done during the week of the 20th?

He probably won't want to meet with me, in fact it will probably annoy him almost as much as a gaggle of Jehovah's Witnesses ringing the doorbell at the same time as Patriots kickoff but hey I really want to see him.

I will say though that nothing drives me crazier than having my calendar up to date showing a fully used up day and then you get the "pop in".

Hey I was wondering if you had a minute....Did you see my calendar?....Yeah but...Do you see me at work here (lots of sciencey stuff on the bench)?...Yeah but...
