Good Friday everyone. It’s 6:26 and it’s already started. My big boss sent a text to our office group chat asking our admin specialist to set up a Teams call with the division chiefs. The problem is nobody pays attention to the chat at 6 am. Also, she’s on leave today. Since I was already in, guess who had to set it up? Oh yeah, also my direct supervisor is out of town so I get to sit in on the call in his place. There isn’t enough coffee for this crap this early.

Hope you all have a better day and a good weekend.

Well I slept through my alarm this morning, so I emailed immediately at 8:30am and then Teams messaged at 9am to my two meetings to say, sorry I slept in, won't make it on time.

Did either of these people check their emails or Teams messages when I didn't physically show up at the meeting? Nope. Instead just sat in an empty room waiting for 30 minutes for me to turn up. You just can't win.

 
You just can't win.

Maybe it’s just a few of us with a proactive work ethic. The first thing I do when I log in is open Outlook to check my email and respond where appropriate. Then I log into Teams and check messages there. That usually takes about 15 minutes and it sets the agenda for the rest of the day. I know some people who only check email twice a day and only open Teams when they have a scheduled meeting. That drives me up a wall.

So frustrating! I always say to my team, check twice a day, end of day and start of day. I use Boomerang to pause my inbox so people get a message saying won't be checked until X when I am available. Hate that the overly competent people (like us) get more work because they check regularly and get shit done!
