This is actually so relatable 😭 Sometimes you ask one simple question because you genuinely just need a quick clarification, and somehow the response makes you regret asking in the first place. I liked how you captured that awkward moment of trying to be respectful while the other person is clearly not in the mood to answer. And the fact that it was literally just one small question makes the whole situation even more frustrating. 😭

This anxiety is so real! Blue ticks but no reply before 10 PM deadline - I felt that panic. What did you finally write? "shall" or "will"? Hope Principal Ma'am approved it.

I have experienced this myself. When that happens we feel the pressure from both ends. If it is done well, someone will bag the credit. If not done correctly we are responsible. The last time it happened with me, I made my management clear that I did not receive the support from my peers and the management should look into it. I was already going to be blamed for the disaster, so I gave them a reason to blame me.
