who else is fed up with people thinking your job can just be set "aside"

So I got a big site to build. I am being payed to build this. As it looks now I won't be done until later tonight. Girlfriend calls from work saying we are going to her family thing around 6. I told her the night before that it will have to wait til 9. She insists for 6 "it's fucking christmas can't they wait for the site?" Wait? WTF.. does her employer have to 'wait' for her to do things when it's convinient for me? Do I even put her in that position? Nope. I have common sense.

At that point my blood was boiling. I am getting so fucking sick and fed up of my job being "bendable" all the time. I could be working away at 1pm and she'll be home for a day and piss and moan to do somehting with her. This is a JOB. Whatmakes her think I can just "do it later"?? One of these days I'm going to call her at work and start crying "I want to spend time with you, do your work later" or "we're going to the family at 3pm, oh your at work? oh well, just finish your work later" I told her I would do this too. "It's not the same thing" she says. Sorry girl, but it is.



How do you people deal with this shit when trying to keep a set schedule for yourself?
