Antiwork

My boss just yelled at me because the Comcast Internet is down and I couldn’t convince Comcast to turn it back on.

For background, I’m the AP Supervisor at a small company in Princeton, NJ. I pay the bills and maintain the finances but have very little to do with the day to day actual meat of the company. Apparently Comcast in their infinite wisdom decided 8:00am on Wednesday is the best time to enhance their network.

But they did give me a credit for the next 5 days for the inconvenience. I told my boss that and he lit into me about how what’s unacceptable is that I can’t get done what’s asked of me. I was floored…like what do you expect me to do. He said he’s gonna call now but I doubt he’ll let me know how he gets on. This is the same guy who last week told me that I need to call him whenever I email him if it’s important because he doesn’t read my emails. I have an interview at another company tomorrow so I’m just taking it day by day…but what the hell was I supposed to do?
