Miss Priss...

...comes into my office today at 11:25 when I'm in the middle of a phone call with IT about my newly-weirded network settings AND am about to be late for my 11h30 appointment with the department head.

What you should know beforehand: it's the first day of finals week and I posted special finals week office hours schedule (different from my normal office hours this semester) in about 479 places for my students and told them I would not have grades ready for anyone to look stuff over with me before tomorrow (also about 479 times).

Luckily the IT guy and I were waiting for the setting to go through for a minute and I had a second to turn to her...
--Um, Melissa did we have an appointment?
--Yeah.
--What time?
--11:30 - I emailed you.
--Well I apologize; I must have spaced it - and I have a meeting with my boss in a few minutes so apparently I've overbooked.
--Well I can come back later.
--What do you need?
--I want to look at my grades.
--That won't be possible until tomorrow but since your class's final is my first one it will be my priority, if that's any help.

Slight eyeroll and heavy sigh.

--Well can I come later and talk about the extra credit assignment?
--Sure.
--Well what time will you be free?
--From 2-8 are my office hours.
--And you'll definitely be available to talk to me?
--(Puzzled) Yes.
--OK see you later.

When I got back from my meeting I happened to open my email. She had indeed emailed me about an appointment... at 11:05. Or actually, not an appointment but "I'm coming by about 11:30 during your office hours."

The nerve of making it seem like my fault and -especially- the eye roll.
I emailed her back letting her know that I had not been able to check my email between 10:30 and the time I saw her and that, as posted on WebCT among other places, my office hours are different this week.

Admittedly I've had a weird year myself - hugely sick both semesters - so trust me, Miss Priss, that I have plenty of stuff going weird and that (I feel like) I'm falling short on without you guys trying to blame me for crap that is YOUR fault.
