  • Sent a client a few emails about a work thing now, with no response. They just liked a couple of my Instagram posts. Wtf, why has that annoyed me so much?

  • The duality of (man/woman)

  • Because suddenly you know they aren't too busy for trivia, they just can't be arsed to get back to you and are acting like they don't care you know this because you're not important enough for them to worry about offending you.

    Felt a similar feeling of sudden anger few weeks ago. An ex colleague had contacted me about some consultancy work and I realised there was potential for a partnership/reseller arrangement. So I sent the details to the senior manager responsible for alliances and a colleague whose expertise was relevant. Colleague was excited about the opportunity, zero response from the VP. A few weeks later, we're on a bullshit departmental team building exercise and both those people were on my team. The email actually came up because relevant to the exercise. Suddenly the VP comes to life. "Oh yes. I wondered who had sent me that email at first, but then I realised 'Oh, it's Bruce'". Which was all he had to say on the subject, because neither it nor I are important enough for him to think about.

    So I looked at him, and just for a moment I thought "I really should shove this sharpie through your eye socket and see if I can get it to come out the back of your skull."
