Standard Sunday evening I guess:
I wake up, satisfied that I already did all my tasks for this week and most of the tasks for next week.
5 minutes before I'm heading to bed I get a message from my boss saying he's disappointed that there is this one task I didn't finish yet, because he arranged a meeting with a customer about it tomorrow. Well, you know what you fuck, maybe, just maybe you should begin showing interest for your own company and actually use Jira to assign deadlines so people know wtf to prioritize. I'm so pissed off, I've been working for 4 hours straight this evening now, only to bang my head against the wall and realise I can't finish it since I have to buy a Windows 10 machine to test out some features. Fuck you! Maybe tell me next time you have a meeting about a certain thing. Yes, I could have spent more time throughout the week, and yes, you could learn to fucking communicate and show some care for your own company.
English is not my native language, so I can't really express how furious I am right now. And yes, he's genuinely mad at me.

    Be assertive. Say you worked on the other tasks and that you will work on that tomorrow.
    Not your fault he scheduled a meeting and didn't let his team know.
    He can reschedule the meeting if he wants.
    Next time he will let you know about the freaking priorities.

    @azous It would and I actually suggested it. But he doesn't want to pay for a license that he thinks he'll only use once. Rather buy a laptop for testing and give it to a employee afterwards I guess.

    @shizpi This is not the first time it has happened. How do you tell your boss that he's an idiot and needs to use Jira like everyone else do?

    @aaxa you don't need to teach him anything. Just don't fix his mess, tell him you can't do it because of some reasons and he will figure something else for sure.
