spreadsheets

[cosmolinguist]

My manager at the beginning of our one-to-one: "Hey, how you doing?"

Me: "I'm alright"

Him: "That doesn't sound your most convincing."

Me: "Fair. I have a headache and I hate spreadsheets." [He knows I've had to try to extract the little useful information from a giant ghastly spreadsheet we've been burdened with.]

Him: "I'm sorry but I have to postpone this 1-1 until Monday because [reasons]... If you have a headache, why don't you just...not work the rest of today."

I love him so much.

That is exactly wat a good supervisor should say in such situations. Rest up, my friend.

Absolute GEM!

I am so sad that you have to wrangle spreadsheets with a headache and so pleased your manager has a heart.

Awww, yay! I hope your headache has eased off.

That is a manager that understands. Well done.

Hopefully you were able to rest your head.
