One of those mornings

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Quiet blog today, I’m having one of those “Do any of you people even pay attention to what goes on around here, or do you just wait for me to do it for you?” mornings….

Sometimes trying to be good at your job, and staying on top of things, just isn’t worth it when no one else can be bothered to.

Later:. Apparently it extends beyond the workplace today. The RoadRunner Help page brags about their email support. “Responses received in hours, not days!” Guess what I just got? A response to my email from Thursday about our internet connection. Better yet, the response was “we don’t know what might be causing your trouble, please call our helpdesk” So, 4 days later, 3.5 days after the connection trouble went away, you finally reply, and your reply is that I should call. How, exactly, did your email tech support do anything more than waste my time?

Turns out someone…

I pointed people to the webcalendar subdirectory and gave an explanation of the conference room calendar and how to use it to book a conference room. We’ll see what sort of feedback I get.

    As if to prove that it’s not just women being publicly slammed that gets my dander up, I agree with Roger’s comment here. So you dropped Scoble’s feed from your subscriptions. I do that all the time. Heck I drop people from the blogroll, or just quit reading blogs all the time because I’m not…
