To complain about having my holiday interrupted by work?

NC for this as potentially outing.

I'm fairly important (not being brag it's relevant) in my "company" and I spend my working life very often at lots of boring meetings and work a lot with the general public. We have a privileged life I will admit and we have no pressures financially although I have a large family.

Me and husband escape to our summer house in Scotland when we can. We both need a rest sometimes away from work, in privacy, and a bit of time in different wings as we work together and sometimes he's a bit of a tit. The family visit while we are there and we enjoy a gin together.

This summer has been a disaster though. First one guy from the head of another "company" demands a meeting with me, he's a buffoon but quite important so I can't say no. Now all the other heads want to see me like now! Apparently it can't wait.

AIBU to be rather miffed at my holiday being interrupted by work constantly?

I think you and your family should down size and I really think you should advise your son to come clean with the American police

Oh your majesty!

YABU, high paid jobs require you to sell your soul and give pounds of flesh.
Maybe sell a home and then you won't have to work as much.

They might be going to sack you, hence the urgency.

Drabarni · 28/08/2019 21:19

Aw, the queen, didn't get it Grin

Notthetoothfairy · 28/08/2019 21:19

Liz, YANBU. Maybe ask some of the younger members of the “company” (Wills and Kate?) to take some of the meetings while you relax.

Sadly it was rather inevitable that I would get the job, very little choice, pressure from family you know the drill.

This is a very bothersome situation indeed. He won't listen to me I'm just his bloody mother.

Hello your vag...

Tell him to fork orf and then complain to HR. Sue the fuckers for every penny you can for ruining your Scottish shagfest.

Poor love Sad

It wasn't his hand apparently! That was definitely not his hand around her waist! (His hand is much much paler, having spent it's entirety in the tax payer's pocket!

I refuse to check my work email and ignore phone calls from work when I'm on holiday. If they can't get hold of me, they can't make me do things. (I'm not that important, there is other people above me if drastically needed but I wouldn't allow work to interrupt my holiday.)

Very good ma'am Grin

It's "My husband and I" not "me and husband", don't you know your Queens English. How is old Phil?

I agree with a poster up thread

You should have told him to fuck off...and set the dogs on him. His ankles would never be the same
