sabineCall Sabine. Ask to reschedule a call that we should be having in 55 minutes. Ask for times.
When Sabine gives you the times she and the other tech from the Evil Empire are available, take that opportunity to begin navigating to the calendars of all the people on your side who NEED!OMG1 to be on the call. Once you get all the calendars open, finally, put Sabine on hold while you go try to track down the admin who has the security to see the boss lady's calendar so we can schedule this call for a time when her controlling interest self can be there.
Bonus points for figuring this out 55 minutes and not 5 minutes early. Also bonus points for apologizing for wasting my time. Minus points for wasting my time.
Now I REALLY don't want to be on this call. Back to loud music and trying to get work done. Yes.
And you over there in the corner. STOP IT! What you're asking is not quick and is not easy. I have to put in paperwork and processes and stuff. And once it goes in, I'll have to go through all those processes AGAIN when you inevitably change your mind. So forgive me if I don't prioritize you to the top of my list. You've only been sitting on this for four months - one more week isn't going to hurt you.
And Disney - way to make the Maleficent trailer ALL ABOUT THE PRINCESS. I was under the impression that this would be a story about, I don't know, MALEFICENT THE MOST AWESOME OF ALL DISNEY VILLAINS. You know, the one who can turn into A FREAKING DRAGON. Her story, but she's apparently only there to define the princess. Fucking hell.
Cranky Sabine is Cranky.
