To complain about having my holiday interrupted by work?

[beccarocksbaby]

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?

Why doesn't one simply send the lot of them to the Tower?

Liz, it’s good to have you here! Would you share your thoughts on Brexit? Also, can you talk with Nicola Sturgeon and just let her have Scotland? That really would shut her up!

You sure your not just bragging?

Dear Lilibet,

I hate to have to say this, but your company is going down the pan - why did you not put your foot down?

PS Any fule kno it's "my husband and I"'.

Don’t you invite that guy to join you at your summer house for a bit of a holiday?

Not keen on having to keep working into my 90s though.

CorBlimeyGovenor - oh, that's good, very good.

Have you considered retiring?
There must be a least one son who itching to take over the family business.

Sorry but why are you even giving your personal mobile number out to heads of other companies? You can’t really complain that they then call you whether you are on leave or not.

My colleagues don’t have my mobile number- only my manager does, so that I don’t get constant interruptions.

Get your husband to drive the guests back home. I hear your husband has a good driving record 😀

When are you sending your son to the US to talk to the FBI?

How about selling Scotland to Mr Trump
Ma'am? That would bring in a few readies to prop up the NHS, and keep the yanks onside. It would make up for them not getting Denmark.

The Scots want to break away anyway, though they can't really afford it - becoming a US state would give them a bit more autonomy.

I realise you'd need a passport to get to Balmoral, but you have plenty of other homes to holiday in.

These thread are great for identifying those who don't read the full thread

Resign and dismantle your company on the way out. The only way.

You've got a big enough HR presence up there...... HRH Annie will do a very good job of telling them to "naff orf" I'm sure! 👑

@beccarocksbaby

Had me going good and proper in your OP!

Thankfully, someone said 'are you the Queen' quite quickly, so I didn't make a tit of myself too much!

I was reading it at face value until I got to "buffoon" and for some strange reason the situation immediately became clear.

Come on, you've had a nice long holiday and you're paid enough to deal with these interruptions from time to time. I bet your work didn't keep phoning you for stuff while you were in labour, like mine did.

Tell them to bugger oorf.

How about you earn some of your money by having that stupid knobber either thrown to the corgis or beheaded?

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

And it's "the firm" not the company

@RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime no way?! That's terrible!

I was thinking that too, @Biancadelrioisback. I think it's funny

I do believe that one may have retired to ones bedchambers for the evening

Suppose the Queen is on MN? I bet she is, actually. I seriously bet Kate is.

Hi Liz, can you put a few of those Scottish boulders in your handbag and whack the buffoon with it? Much appreciated

You need to practice your delegating skills Your Maj.
Get Charles & Camilla to step up and hold the meeting or promote Will & Kate, whilst you get stuck into a well earned gin.
