ssshhhhhh....
hear that? nope, nothing. Not an irrate email asking for an "urgent" yet pointless task to be completed in the next 5 minutes. No inane questions. No phone calls asking you to repeat what you wrote in your email.
Manglement have the day off.
I can't tell you how happy this makes me. Peace and quiet - bliss. I've had a nightmare week work wise, dozens of urgent tasks that involved me working like a demon only to find out that they weren't urgent after all. countless pointless questions repeated over and over. My particular favourite was yesterday's exchange on the phone:
"Daisy, has the project been completed now?"
- yes, see my email I sent yesterday.
"ah, does it take into consideration the comments from the customer?"
- Open the email
"yes"
- what does it say?
"Here are the completed project files"
- and underneath that, what does it say?
"Here is the completed project documentation"
- and underneath that, what does it say?
"this takes into consideration all the customer comments. Oh!, aha-ha, so it does. Thanks"
And so it goes. The urgent project that I completed for this guy and he doesn't even have the good manners to read the sodding email.
I haven't actively hated someone this much in a long time.
