some ppl just take for granted things are going to be prepared for them. a
few colleagues are currently holding training sessions to introduce our new
users to the system.

i understand that sometimes the information provided by our clients come at
the very last minute. which is why you should always have on hand some form
of backup. in our case, we’ve had only recently conducted UAT sessions for
the previous phase and the data used are still available in the server. i
am supposed to be working on some other tasks but would have assisted them
in locating the needed info prior to the training sessions IF they had
actually either opened their mouths to ask for it or even mail me (i’d
rather respond via email since i have a tendency to launch into a diatribe
when i get pissed off – which i currently am)

so here we are. on the day that the training’s supposed to be conducted.
apart from the fact that the application server in our testing system seems
to have decided to leave the building, there shouldn’t have been any
issues.

then smack when i was about to attend a discussion after lunch, came the
request to assist in changing certain recycled data to meet their training
requirements. &%$#^!! i made the necessary changes (not without mouthing
off the bearer of the message – sorry !) and rushed to the discussion on
the meeting room floors.

came back.. checked for any new mails .. and discovered that my blog has
turned nasty on me. so i wasn’t in the best of moods (which seems to be a
constant when i am at the office) when the same colleague came to me and
asked at 5.30pm whether i still have the reference data sheet.

to which i answered of course i do. said colleague muttered ok and then
left the office.

suddenly my phone rang and was greeted by another colleague’s voice.
apparently calling from the training room. asking whether i have some data
that they could use since they only had portions of it and couldn’t be
effin bothered to confirm the rest was ok or not. she asked for me to mail
it to her. which i did – with some warning to make certain changes so that
mails don’t get sent to the wrong people (we’re working in another phase
remember, so different set of clients)

then she responded to my email, asking for the same reference data document
which was enquired by the colleague that has already left the office. by
golly! what a load of bollocks! if my addled brain serves me correctly, the
colleague that left the office only asked whether i had the document but
never mentioned anything about wanting it sent to his partners-in-crime. i
very nearly lost it but decided to just mail the darned document cc-ed to
the rest again with more word of caution to ensure that the data is still
valid.

so here i am, still at the office – writing an entry about this, when i am
supposed to have gone home. a gal just has to let off her steam .. or i’d
end up biting off more heads tomorrow.

woooszahhhh.

ok. am calm. bye bye
