offers

There is something disingenuous to an offer when you go to take someone up on it and it is retracted.

I worked somewhere close to 13 hours on Sunday. My boss, surprised that I did, and that I was in at 7 am this morning to finish up the tapes offered to let me take a day off this week. I thought for a moment, checked the department schedule and said "fine, how about Friday?"

"Oh! Can't do that", I hear. It seems that he's going to take the day off, just hasn't run it by our big boss yet. Can't have off next Monday either as our helpdesk is out that day.

Forget it... It's not worth it this week.

Still, shouldn't offer what you won't deliver.
