Ugh I’m such a jerk… it was so unnecessary for me that rude to her because I was already frustrated before I felt blindsided with that information and the whole time she was sure to have given me a sticky note right on the left side of my desk calendar’s. She didn’t even bother to challenge my authority knowing she was right… she simply agreed with me and apologized for it anyways… The whole time knowing she was right… why wouldn’t she if anything just attempt to gently correct me and remind me of the sticky notw… damn… the mood i wasin it probably wouldn have made me any less of a jerk… f**k.
Pov Luci-
I felt like it would just be easier if I agreed and defuse the tension in that situation.. I can handle moodiness I’ve had plenty of harsh bosses before and he was clearly having a rough morning and why keep the situation going over something as trivial as that information. I knew i had already prepared everything for him anyways so his preparation would have made him get ahead of his forgetfulness. It was easier to be gentle and just apologize not because I msde any mistakes but more so apologizing for his stress and it effecting him so much.
