so when the dude is 10 mins late im like “where are they”
he writes back that they’re looking at it now
and i go “oh shit, its the old code still!”
”oh never mind they’re not looking now, just that they’re going to soon”
“ok when?”
“i’ll call you back”
TIME ELAPSED : 3 HOURS
“are you going to have them look at it today?”
“nah they went home”
”ok, well thats pretty bad on your part, we planned this out, had people ready, had it approved, whats your excuse?”
“well my boss didn’t approve it”
“go get your boss on the phone, i want to talk to him”
“he’s gone home too”
“get him on his cell, i’m sure he’s on call”
“oh no he’s on a trip”
“ok whats his email”
“um, let me go check, brb”
hangs up
me: “why did you hang up on me? do you not want me to ask your boss questions?”
“no, no, its not that at all”
me: “let me explain something to you, we’re going to get this done on monday, and if you don’t make it happen, i will personally ruin your career for fun”
“hahahaha”
“i’m not joking, monday”
”OK! I understand, i can put in the request and they’ll do it first thing on Monday”
“We don’t have people in the office until your afternoon time, that won’t work, and besides, how did you JUST NOW put in the request”
“oh, i refreshed it”
“un refresh it”
“i can’t”
ok, what time will they look at it
“about 10am on Monday morning, EST, can you have it ready then?”
“I probably can, but keep in mind that 10am EST is basically the middle of the night to me and everyone involved in this project, so if we do this and they forget, delay, or get it wrong, I am going to be very, very upset and angry with you personally”
“i can’t control them, but they usually are fine on times”
“find a way to control them on monday, or you’ve made an enemy with a LOT of free time”
“hahaha”
“i’m not joking”
“ummm….ok….bye then!”
