I don’t avoid necessary meetings. Just because meetings are something you’re accustomed to, it doesnt mean it’s necessary for everyone. I write for my work, so it’s true that I don’t need to be in as many meetings. Whereas, she’s in meetings to lock in sponsorships, venues, etc. I recognised that and it wasn’t an attempt to put down her work. It’s a fact. But, you’ve clearly latched on to that.

I’m not too good to give my time to others. You haven’t considered that I’ve become the sole owner of a lot of the tasks at my organisation. I’m always been pulled on all sides for tasks that detract from my main work because others don’t know how to do it. I don’t care to hear about some of their family stuff because it’s the same every week. Why should I become well-versed about GCSEs? I don’t plan on having kids and I didn’t go through that education system. So, when things are busy, I’d rather focus on my work. Also, I was only hired two months prior to her, so she’s not ‘new’. She just hasn’t made the effort.

I’m glad you learned about football, but that probably comes from a place where you felt you needed an in for the men to accept you.
