Broadband is back! Phew! - deadline missed... sigh.
I come home to find a near unintelligible message from an Irish call centre operative to say the line should now be working. It was. Joy! I called to find out what the fault had been, but was told it was far too technical for him, and therefore by association me, to understand.
We missed a client deadline today; on a course I had handed back to my boss, as I was swamped. It seems when I am away, no one cares about deadlines.... maybe that is what I should say when asked why I like to work at my present company? I should say "I like it that others coast along with their self-important time-filling activities and don't get stressed out by meeting pesky things like client deliverables and high priority invoicing activities! Otherwise it would feel too much like work wouldn't it?"...
Pity no one told the client that I had handed the course back to my boss, like my boss telling the client? Stupid me. I must remember:
Stop caring or get a new job.
