just bitchin..
I am taking a moment to reflect on my day and I remembered something that set me over the edge.
Work was hectic. Phones wouldn't stop ringing, people won't stop being overly demanding and rude, emails just kept coming the minute I answer the phone and a countless other distraction i can't get my head around.Possibly because my boss is a little bit of a ... hmm.. how shall i put it??? delegate.. delegate.. delegatOR! he thinks that's a good thing but delegating all his responsibility on us isn't really delegation. It's just plain lazy! He is a nice guy and i couldn't really complain about him as a boss but ... he 'delegates' too much that it is on the borderline of taking advantage. Anyhoo... i'm efficient and couldn't care less. keeps me busy at least instead of dying of boredom. if only i could take over his job and get his salary. DELEGATORS! ugh
Phone call from one of the guys in the phone teams:
guy: hey...it's dave. can i speak to farah?
(me asks for farah wondering why he didn't call her line?? - shock horror she was on another call that's why he couldn't get through so he calls every single extenstion close by instead. wanker)
me: dave.. she's on the phone mate.
dave: well then you need to take this phone call because the solicitor is waiting for a payout figure and has been waiting since yesterday.
me: (who the fuck does he think he is face!??! ) well you know how it works - you can't just give payout figures for these a day before settlement?
dave: yeah well we have sent numerous emails and noone answers. can u just take the call.
me: u aren't even giving me any details and expect me to take the call from you? i am not going to take it. do u even have an account number or customer name?
dave: you guys up there should start taking ownership!!
me: excuse me? you want me to start taking ownership.. you can't even answer a phone call without having to speak to us every five minutes and you are supposed to be in the PHONE TEAM!!!?!?!?
dave: says something that sounded like blah blah in my ear.
me: just give me the account number.
dave: says something blah blah again.
me: are you going to give me the account number so i can hang up on you and get on with my day?
dave: (pause)
me: ACCOUNT NUMBER OR CUSTOMER NAME PLEASE!!!how do u expect me to do anything if you wont' even do this simple thing??? (screams at him at this stage)
dave: oh wel.. ok.. (gives said account number).
me: interrupts him before he says more blah blah stuff.. put it through now!
and the rest is pretty much blah blah. fixed it. done. what gives him the right to lecture me about ownership!?!??!?!?! everyone was amused at how worked up i got and told me that he is a wanker and proceeds to tell me stories about how much of a wanker he is. Up to this point, i thought he was just some guy. now I believe he is a Double wanker!!
That was only about five percent of my day. The rest of the day was crazy but for some reason i was in a pleasant mood. Goes to show how you have to let go of how emotionally worked up you get over double wanker guys and get on with the SHOW!!! :)
