Apology Letter to the Boss of a Architectural Firm:
I wish to apologize for my rude behavior on Friday. I know, i know. I was childish, impolite and just plain obnoxious.
But.
Allow me to show you my schedule on that day:
- 9.30am - First Meeting
- 12.30pm - Finished First Meeting
- 1.00pm - Arrived back at office
- 1.30pm - Leave office for Second Meeting
- 2.00pm - Second Meeting
- 2.30pm - Leave for Third Meeting
- 3.00pm - Third Meeting
As you can see, my itinerary was packed. After my first meeting, when i arrived back in office, i had to continue my tender preparations for Monday, and my preparations were only half-done. When i reached your office at 2.00pm, i hadn't even eaten my lunch. And i had only 30mins to go through whatever issues that had arise.
And while i was explaining something to you, you said, "I'm an Architectural Registered Inspector (R.I.). I know the rules and regulations." I kept quiet. Mostly out of deference to you since you're the boss of the firm, you're elderly and you have lots of experience.
But when your younger Architect showed the portion of the Code of Practice which reaffirms my explanation and statement, I lost it.
I'm sorry. I should have kept quiet and at least, speak in a more reasonable "I-told-you-so" tone of voice.
You are old. You are the boss of the architectural firm. You have heaps of experience. You deserve respect and recognition.
Therefore, i offer my humble apologies and will do my best not to make the same mistake again.

bad day at work? all of us had our moments. dun feel bad k. we are humans after all with emotions and feelings.
if u need to talk im just a text msg away :)
that's a lot of meetings for one day! jeez...
I can understand the situation you are in. It's always good to take a step back and let the emotions subside for a bit before dealing with a potential conflictual and misunderstanding predicament.
but hey, we're humans. With the schedule you had, anyone in your shoes would have lost it.
Flowerger: I didn't really had a bad day at work. Just insanely busy, i guess. Besides, there is that Linkin Park concert to look forward to. *grins*
Dramaqueen: Yeah, but it wasn't the first time i had to skip lunch entirely due to meetings. This, however, was the first time i lost my temper because i was hungry. :p
I just hope that guy is understanding enough to let things slide. >.<
Oooo. Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?
Green Ogre: Heh. I did try to keep the sarcasm out, but obviously a tiny bit managed to sneak it. I think its because a part of me is still sore at him rubbing his nose at me on being more experienced. :p
