No, you thought you had a call with reps from one of the largest companies in the world & federal gov, planned your whole week around it & got blown off. 🙁
I have a very important call™ today & I’m just a little freaked out. Got 3 hours to pull it together.
Got an email for “men’s casual shawl…” and got excited until read “collar.” I’m all about dude shawls if they are a real thing.
