1.) Newish Account Manager has decided that in light of adopting a new puppy, she needs to work from home for awhile to help the new pup get acclimated. No idea if she ran this by anyone, but just a friendly reminder that I approached Manager with a proposal to work remote so that I can care for my disabled father, and also checked in with the team and mapped out days based on when it’s beneficial to be in the office. So I sent out a bitchy “I know this isn’t as important as a new puppy, but I’ll be caring for my dad on Thursdays” note to the my department. Team Messy Bench/Petty Bitch!
2.) Our Associate Creative Director needed to run his son to school because his wife, a SAHM, had a dentist appointment, so he let us know he’d be in a little later than usual today, nbd (truly). Work Brother got weirdly excited for him. “Oh, I’m so glad he’s able to be a dad this morning and take his son to school!” I just lost it. “OK, we get it, you guys are parents so you’re more important than everyone else!”
