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?

    I’ve been trying to help my brother-in-law setup comments on his new blog. He’s got a new job and decided he would start blogging about working with Cisco stuff. I uploaded all the aspcomments stuff to his site, and emailed him the cut/paste codes that needed to be added to the template. Those of you…

    Yes, it’s true. I was completely oblivious to the fact that my wife had turned what I thought was a small get-together with Andy and Kristen into a surprise early birthday party for me. I was, in fact, quite surprised to see a handful of friends already at the Clay Cafe when the 4 of…
