Whoops

It’s definitely time for me to go on vacation—I accidentally snapped at my clients today.

• serna Snaps
• INT: the office. serna gets ready to join a conference call.
• Client #1
• (over IM)
• Are you coming to the conference call? It started one minute ago!
• serna
• (joining the conference call)
• Really? After one minute, you’re paging me to join the call? After the number of conference calls where you’ve all kept me waiting 5 or 10 minutes for you to join?
• Client #1
• (chagrined)
• Sorry serna…
• Client #2, #3, etc.
• Sorry serna… Sorry serna…

I know, I know, when I say that I “snapped”, you were probably expecting something a bit more dramatic than that. But they are my clients, after all—what did you expect? Swearing and cursing?
