This just gets more and more ridiculous each day. I had my interview this morning... and spent the afternoon doing some store visits... it's actually more fun to do them now that I have some products coming up... sure they're not going to be out for another 2 months... but it's something to start talking about at least.

Anyway, I get home at about 6, to find an e-mail in my inbox... sent at 5:52pm... telling my team about our next team meeting. In Scottsdale, Arizona. July 11th and 12th. That's just over 2 weeks away. And of course, in order to be in Scottsdale for a bright start on Monday morning the 11th, they expect us to fly into Phoenix on Sunday the 10th. Oh, and there aren't many many (if any at all) direct flights to Phoenix from Boston... so chances are, they were expecting me to spend most of Sunday afternoon in transit.

I've already called and left a message for my boss saying that I have a prior commitment that weekend (which I do)... and that I just scheduled myself to be at a fairly significant meeting that Tuesday morning (which I did)... we'll see what happens when he gets back to me. I spoke to one other colleague who told me that he returns home from his honeymoon that Sunday night... so he's not available to travel on Sunday either.

This shit is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S! (sorry, I couldn't help it)
