You Have To Remember To Take Your Brain To The Meetings
My coworker is a nice lady but clueless. One day, we are both in a meeting with our boss.
Boss: “[My Name], there’s a huge problem with [System] and I need you to fix it as soon as possible. This will be your top priority. Call me in an hour to let me know how it’s going.”
Me: “You got it, [Boss].”
I return to my desk and start working on the problem. [Coworker] returns to hers right next to mine.
Coworker: “Hey, [My Name], have you noticed [incredibly trivial issue]?”
Me: “Hmm? No.”
Coworker: “It’s really annoying.”
Me: *Not really listening* “Uh-huh, I’ll bet.”
Coworker: *After an expectant pause* “So, I’ll need your help.”
Me: “Sure, I can help you later.”
Coworker: “What’s wrong with right now?”
Me: “Um, I’m busy.”
Coworker: “Doing what?”
