I am in big trouble.

Can't believe I have done this - Boss is supposed to be flying to Singapore tonight 10pm - his passport is at an embassy in london and I sent the courier to the wrong address - boss knew the address was different but did not tell me - I have phoned to tell him and he has just said in a really calm voice - well I can't fly without a passport - lets just talk about this later.

I could deal with it if he screams and shouts but not if he is just being really reasonable (well sure he has just slammed phone down and opunched a wall)

Can't believe I have done this - am crying now and everyone already thinks I am mad!!

oops

charlieplus3 · 16/03/2004 16:33

Not your fault though

CountessDracula · 16/03/2004 16:34

No. He is a twit for not telling you the address. He will realise this and be reasonable (if he is reasonable man)

M2T · 16/03/2004 16:34

Don't worry about it.... it's HIS fault anyway!! That'll be why he didn't shout. You're not a mind reader.

Kayleigh · 16/03/2004 16:36

oh honey. will you be able to get the passport in time ?

dinosaur · 16/03/2004 16:38

Twinkie - do you have any trainees or other gofers around - get one of them to jump in a taxi and go to the correct Embassy address and pick up the passport - NOW!!!!

jmg · 16/03/2004 16:38

sorry posted this on the other thread!

Twinkie
can't you just send another courier now?

embassy should still be open!

Plenty of time to get passport back isnt there?

Or am I misunderstanding you?

marthamoo · 16/03/2004 16:51

Hope you get it sorted twinkie, bloomin' pregnancy hormones, eh? (The crying, I mean, mix up with address is daffy boss' fault!)

Why was his passport at an embassy this late anyway?

Cause he forgot to pick it up yesterday!! (And it apparently is my fault - he had to drive literally past the embassy on his way home but couldn't be arsed to go in - wanted a courier to do that!!)

Am now sitting here waiting for a form so I can authorise his new flight - god knows when that will arrive - DP is fuming cause I cried and he thinks my boss is a bit of hard work anyway (I have to far and beyond most days!!) and DD is gonna be sad cause I was supposed to pick her up early tonight so her friend could come round!!!!

You didn't here him - he was sooo angry - and got crosser when I cried - not to him but he could hear me snivelling!!

He not in for 3 weeks now - travelling but I now he is going to be sooo angry with me when he gets back.

He gave the courier the receipt at 2.30pm and he had to be at the consulate before 4 and then to his house so he got the 10pm flight - cutting it fine but he thinks it is still my fault!!

What a horrid little man he is. Hope his flight is really delayed and he uses the time saitting in an uncomfotable lounge to realise what a rude, arrorgant, jumped up little twerp he's been (really trying not to swear here!)

Twinkie hon', sorry your little 'un had to loose out on her mate coming round but with him away you can make it up to her every night for 3 weks!

I hate injustice more than anything else.

hope his Singapore noodles give him the runs!!

Thanks - am now just sitting here waiting for the forms to come through - I can't believe I cried - I never cry about work - its just not worth it but he was sooo bloody contrite - get the courier togo there now they must have a security guard who can hand over my opassport - they must understand the gravity of the situation - like they give 2 hoots about his situation - thety are bloody brazilian - if they close at 4 they close at 4 - they don't even answer the phone after 4 FFS!!!

Feel a bit better after that rant.

I do hope your evening goes well Thomcat - ignore that nasty woman or just be nice to her and then if she is mean toyu everyone will see what a cow she is XXX

Was it at the embassy in the first place because he'd forgotten to get a visa or something?
