is it march yet?

I hope to be done working here by the end of March. That's my goal. It's good to have goals.

This morning I was at work at 7 AM to take a woman to Southfield. She is from another country and is a nurse. In order to get a job in the U.S. she has to take a couple exams. This morning she had her first test. She said it could take as long as 5 hours but it might take less time. I told her I would plan on picking her up at 1:30 PM and gave her my cell phone number in case she finished earlier. At 10:30 I was sitting down to a lovely Thursday morning team meeting when my cell phone rang. It was the woman and she was already done with her exam! I went to tell my supervisor that I would be leaving...

Me: She just called me and is done with her test so I am going to go pick her up now.
Supervisor: Well I don't know.
Me: ???? (I didn't ask her, I was telling her!)
S: You should ask the team what they think.
Me: Um. She is done so I'm going to go get her now.
S: Yes I know but we have to meet to talk about the shelter families. Can't she wait a few minutes?
Me: She's already going to be waiting a few minutes because it's going to take me 40 minutes to get there. I'm going to get her now.
S: Well I'm not sure.

Right when I was about to punch her my coworker said, "We can talk about the shelter families without you. Just go." and then my supervisor got up and walked away. I looked at my coworker and we both just shrugged. I left. This was so much more frustrating than it seems when I write about it. Instead of saying she wanted me to stay for the meeting she said I had to ask the team what they thought?? Or maybe she really wanted me to ask the team? I have no idea. And that's what is most frustrating. I thought maybe she would be pissed that I left but I talked to her a few minutes ago and she didn't say anything. Although I guess even if she was pissed she wouldn't say anything.

The end of March will be here soon. Just not soon enough.
