I was aware that my husband had an internal job interview but forgot it was today. Certainly didn't know the time. we were texting earlier since our tax returns kept getting rejected. there was an issue with the pin# and i was trying to figure it out. he sent me his pin# but it wasn't working. Then a little later, my daughter got some news and she was texting both of us. I was responding - husband wasn't. It did not occur to me that he would be in his interview. A few minutes later, I get a call from a doctor's office that wanted me to electronically sign some documents. I couldn't sign from my laptop for some reason, so I had the office email the docs to my husband to sign. That is when he texted me back how furious he was at me for texting him during his interview and he wasn't able to turn it off. Then he was mad at all the documents he needed to sign. They needed to be signed at that moment as I was on the phone with the doctors office and it was to follow their security protocols.
I told him to put his anger aside and sign and he refused to believe that I was unable to do it from my laptop. I am also angry because the reason our taxes weren't going thru is because he mistyped one of the numbers in his pin. So as I kept trying to efile, it kept getting rejected and I was trying to figure out. I finally figured out his typo. I am at work too and not too happy that my morning has been spent with tax returns and the doctors office. I know if the situation was reversed, he would blame me for not turning off my phone before entering the interview. And that is exactly what I want to tell him. But he likes to blame others and will not see it as being his fault. So how do I move forward with this. I feel bad for him and it sucks that this is the moment when my DD texted us her news and there was a lot of back and forth on the text. And then the 15 minutes it took to sign all the paperwork.... when I told him there were 2 more form to sign, he texted me FU - I am at work. |

| You need to stop expecting him to answer during the work day. He needs to learn to silcens/DND his phone |

| He should have muted his phone. |

| Teach him how to turn on the "do not disturb" function on his phone when he gets home today. |

| Why couldn't he put his phone on DND? |

You realize that he and you are feeling a lot of stress today and you let it go.

| Oh yeah I’m sorry to say I would have been pretty infuriated. |

| He should have put do not disturb on his phone while he was in the interview or anytime he has an important work thing happening that shouldn’t be disturbed. You should have completed your taxes before the last day, which would make your lives much less stressful. |

Both of these. |

| Agree that he definitely should have put his phone on silence/DND, but I'd also be annoyed at getting so many random "PAY ATTENTION TO THIS RIGHT NOW" texts. |

First off, who actually waits to file their taxes until 4/15?
Second, what would the doctor’s office have done if you hadn’t answered your phone? They can’t literally expect you to be able to sign something that exact moment in the middle of the workday. I’d find a new dr if they were that pushy about it and couldn’t wait for a call back. Third, your DH needs to learn to silence his phone for anything important. You both are terrible at planning ahead. |
