A tad bit resentful

Our printer emailed my office today to offer us a tour of their facility. More than happy to get an extra hour off of work to play, I let Mavvy & Sharpie know of the invitation and then go ask Stepzilla if it's okay.

Colormist: "Hi, Stepzilla! The printer invited Mavvy, Sharpie, & I all to tour his facility, is it okay if we go tomorrow?"

Stepzilla (shocked): "Actually, no. Mavvy is FAR too busy this week to go there. There's lots of work to be done. I don't mind if you go tomorrow--but then Mavvy isn't here tomorrow. So next week maybe. Well, no. Actually. Mavvy shouldn't go at all. She doesn't know anything about the design process and really couldn't learn anything from the tour. I don't care if you and Sharpie go tomorrow, but not Mavvy."

Colormist: "Okay, well thanks! Here's the brochure."

Wow, if that wasn't a clearly obvious "I'm-pissed-off-at-Mavvy-for-telling-me-off-a-week-ago" I don't know what it was! Stepzilla doesn't even know what we're doing 90% of the time, so she wouldn't know what kind of workload Mavvy has or how long it would take to finish said workload. She's just pissed at Mavvy and will take it out in any way possible.

I then told Mavvy, if she just-so-happens to take her lunch break at the same time Sharpie and I go on the tour, I don't think anyone would know the difference.
