On Call

Today. Which is I suppose, preferable to a "MUST COME TO OFFICE" instruction.

Anyway, we worked till quite late yesterday evening at the office. When boss came around to ask if I wanted to order in dinner at 10pm, I shook my head, still optimistic that I would be able to go soon and catch up with hubby at home (probably supper for him!). I guess boss had a different view though, but nevertheless (bless him), just nodded and told me to finish up my bits and then he would wrap up the rest.

I asked "Are you sure?"
He declined my offer to stay on.
I wasn't going to ask twice. Thanks!

It must have been my conscience but I just couldn't sleep past 6 this morning. Logged on and noted that the report has been sent for review at 1am in Bahrain, i.e. 8am in Melbourne - poor boss. But nope, no feedback received from Down Under - meaning no action required yet on our end.

There were still a few loose ends I had promised to tie up today and send across to him. And I did, by 8 in the morning. Unfortunately, the internet connection at home is still as crappy. After an hour of futile attempts to e-mail the promised deliverables to my boss, I gave up and drove to office just to send that one silly e-mail with the attachments.

Lurked around a little to see if boss would respond with any immediate comments. Nada. So I drove back home instead, where I am currently lounging around, waiting for the call or sms for further assistance required.

Don't like the waiting, but heck, at least I get to watch television, which I haven't seem to have done for absolutely ages!!!
