susandennisIf you need something done by a certain date and you were really late in getting the requirements finished and you missed several deadlines but still were begging for it to be done to meet your schedule, do you think that sending a dozen (literally 12) emails over two days requesting confirmation that will be done - and receiving the reply 'I'll do the best I can.' to each and every one - helpful?
Because, you know what? It's not. It pisses me off and robs me of any tiny shred of desire to help you in any way. Any. Way.
That's today's tip.
(And, yep, I thought about it and the ramifications of my not doing what you want won't get to my boss or his client cause you are way too far down the food chain... and even if it did, I have solid email evidence of harassment... so... neener neener.)

I didn't sleep really well last night.

NPR is having their annual pledge drive. I cannot express to you how much I resent my radio programming being hijacked by inarticulate annoying thoughtless and mindless begging.

Ok, enough. It's Friday. My UPS tracking number says "out for delivery". This will be a good day or else.

Date: 2007-03-23 05:41 pm (UTC)I am in such a weird good mood today that I thought it would be a good day to pester Susan.
I know. I know. Don't poke the bear. :)

Date: 2007-03-23 06:20 pm (UTC)I have one that's been calling me daily for the past week and each time I say, "Nothing has changed since we last spoke. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Doesn't get it.
