See What I Mean?

They've brought in a Business Coach at work. I was scheduled to meet with her, as an introduction to the process, for half an hour on Friday. I was with a client at the appointed time, so the bookkeeper went first. When my time came, we sat in the only available space with a closable door and some privacy. The meeting was to be confidential, and an opportunity to express the things we would like to change about our work environment and business culture. I was all set to unload my many, many issues when a co-worker knocked on the door, unable to answer a customers question. I excused myself, and helped the customer--the customer was one I was expecting to drop in--I had prepared the co-worker with exact instructions on how to help her and explained that I would not be available. It took me three minutes to wrap up the $328 sale. Of course, it took 10 minutes to do the required charming chit-chat. Ok, back in my seat, still not-unloaded because the Coach had barely had a chance to finish explaining her role, expectations, etc. What then? My boss barges in, no knocking, no apology. Time's up. I fumed the rest of the day--here's probably the most important meeting of my entire tenure at this job, and a co-worker can't muster up the stuff to hold off a customer or complete the sale? And adding insult, I found out later that he asked my bosses (both of them!) if he could interrupt my meeting and they said YES. Man up, figure it out yourself! And then the boss, throwing the door open on a confidential and sensitive meeting to do what, check for email from his boyfriend?? Then, a day later, I realized that perhaps it was better that I didn't get to list my many small and large complaints (I might have embarrassed myself by crying anyway)--when two beautiful examples of my problems came right through the door!
