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 need to leave your company.

You are obviously no longer capable of doing your job and protecting people. You only seem interested in protecting your paedophile son.

You should have told the buffoon to fuck off, given that when one of your predecessors agreed to what he's asking you to do it didn't end at all well.

You should’ve got your DH to give the buffoon a lift to the station. Preferably via a cliff-top.

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

I prefer to use colloquial English in my down time. It's such a drag being perfect all the time.

Oh and DH is approaching 150 but don't tell anyone I think we are publically at 93 or similar

Off with their heads!

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.

Unfortunately dear it's difficult for me to avoid them when they turn up at my house! I don't use a mobile phone. Terrible things.

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

This must be wonderful do your staff pass on messages?

A bit orf piste, but I suggest you point out to yon Andy fella that people are asking that if his hand is not on her waist, where is it?

Sometimes, Ma'am, a girl just needs to touch up her lippy, throw on her tiara and remind people that, actually, one is The Boss. Send them to the Tower!
