Today I was sitting in my office when one of my right-hand people came in and said "I'm going to lunch now." I replied, "Okay," but somewhat indifferently because normally people in my department do not check in with me before heading to lunch.
"I'm going to lunch because you did not get us pizza today," she continued. I was focusing my attention on something else, but this made me look up.
She went on, "You said yesterday that because we were short-staffed and had a deadline that we all pulled together on, that you might order pizzas and have a pizza party for lunch. So I planned on having a pizza party today and did not bring my lunch." Whoops, I did vaguely recalled saying that to her, but I had forgotten until now.
