Now that’s irritating

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

You know what really, really irritates me? When someone asks me for something and mentions how they need me to email it to them right away, and then I find that they don’t even check their email for it, and probably won’t actually need it for days.

I may just have to re-institute a 2-3 day turn around on all database requests again to prevent this sort of thing from happening. I’ve had to do it before because people refused to either plan ahead, or be honest about when they really needed things. Sad isn’t it?

  • One of those mornings

    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…
