"We Need to Talk"

There's nothing more wrenching than starting the morning with two emails that essentially say: "We need to meet and discuss [X] matter."

1) I hate the subtext of emails like this (the implication being there was a f*ckup and I'm on the list of people suspected as responsible.

2) I hate meetings. I hate 'em a lot.

That said, there's few things that bring more relief than looking over both matters and realizing I'm pretty much in the clear.

Happy Friday!
