This week I was double booked. Online meetings. Whats app messages. Are you free on such and such a date? First of the month.
I replied Yes.
Then I got a message from another: This happens a lot. VIP asks you. Helper chases you.
Can You confirm you are free on the first of the month?
Yes.
Now, to me 'confirm' means they already asked, so I assume this refers to the previous event.
The meeting switches from afternoon to evening.
On the evening I log in.
I ask for the meeting program. They say they already sent it.
I can't find it.
Then I get a frantic call from another. Where are you?
Already logged in.
I can't see you.
We go around this whole loop again.
Eventually person two asks if I can see him.
No. But I can see the meeting chair person. Ray.
\Ray is not the meeting chairman. I am 'Harry'.
You are essential. We are waiting for you.'
'Send me the zoom link, Harry.'
I tell the other group,' sorry, gotta, Emergency. I'll explain later.'
From now on I shall insiste that anybody sending me a meeting and a date, must tell me the organization and names of all persons who will be chasing me, to prevent another mix-up.
