Wasting Time At A Bad Time

(My boss calls me into a private meeting and accuses me of wasting time which, I assure him, I have not. Please note that I’m a pretty sensitive person and don’t handle confrontation well.)

Me: *starting to get upset*

Boss: “Well, do you have anything you’d like to say to me?”

Me: “Couldn’t we have had this meeting literally any other day?”

Boss: “I don’t have magic powers to know when a good day for you is.”

(I guess he’d forgotten that that morning I had asked him for the next day off because I had to get my dog put to sleep due to terminal cancer.)
