Ok Quiz time. Looking for how I did.

I have to get S7 from W work. I walk in say hi. She is entering in an invitation to an engagement on her computer, do not ask what it is, none of my business. She says S7 is in other office. He wants to play a bit more on the computer. I go back into her office and sit down:
M S7 wants to finish a game. How is your day going?
W Busy as usual trying to get things done.
M Sure looks like it, TGIF
W Goes into what else I need to do in regards to sons.
M Yup got that, thanks. If you would like it might be easier for me to pick up S4 and take him to practice and that way you will be able to get to S10 event from work.
W What? Whatever! It is not a big deal. Fine if that is what you want to do.
M It might just be easier.
W Let me know.

She is shuffling papers like mad right now. Restacking things she has already stacked. Try and make soem chit chat. She gets the big sigh and poosture and rolls eyes to sky.

M Well it looks like you are really busy I will get S7 and get going (nicely)

W Yes I am, sorry, but tying to get things done. Make sure you bring S7 back in so I can say GB. (Grrrrrrr like I would just take him!)

I bring S7 back. Big ordeal and GB. I stand at doorway, she is now BSing with assistant. Opps must have finished stacking those papers

Say and wave GB.

5 Minutes later, cell phone rings. Reminding me to pick up S7 friend at day care. I say yup got it covered.

W: You might want to get him early.
M: Just what I was planning so I can get yard mowed before practice.
W: Good, well gotta run and get back to work.
M: OK see you later

I thought I did good. Fought back a lot of respnses I wanted to say. The anxious feeling of being dismissed in her office came in the truck. I need to do better in that area. Amazing the "attitude" towards me, but again I may read too much into that. Maybe not.

Easier than I thought, but I did prepare myself before I went in knowing I was not going to step onto the battle field.
