Germany - Espana

I have returned from my 2:30 PM meeting. I tried valiantly to take the call from my office but was thwarted by a client.

I ran late to the meeting initially because the kids' 1st German babysitter has just returned to our family after 2 years and she forgot how to turn on live TV. We both panicked because I couldn't visualize the damned remote while on the phone AND I was panicked about this meeting AND I was trying to set up my computer so I could watch. We had to get ChowderBoy to get live TV on.

In the end, I had to take the call in another office and arrived back at my desk at 57:23.

My very favorite part of the meeting was when the client told us "I do not believe in multitasking. That's why I scheduled this call for an hour before the World Cup match starts. We can finish in an hour and then I can watch."

He's in Chicago. He scheduled the meeting for 1:30 CST. Which is 2:30 EST. Which is when the match started.

der Mann ist ein Idiot.
