I'm done with Bicycle Boy

Good god, how hard is it to read and or add a bit of context to an email?  Apparently, it causes excruciating pain.  🙄

Last week, one of our vendors sent me an email saying he made a mistake and put the wrong job number on an invoice.  It shouldn't have been Project X, it should have been the big hospital project.  I appreciated that because we have to track everything for the hospital and will be audited when it's done.  Which should be August, thank the gods.

Anyway, I forwarded it to my co-worker who is handling that aspect of the job and put in the emal, "See R's notes below."  Five minutes later, he's at my desk and says, "Did you know that invoice has the wrong job number on it?"  I look at him for a solid minute, wondering WTF he's on about.  Then it hits me and I ask, "Did you read the email?"  He says, "No, I didn't think I needed to."  EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HIM TO DO EXACTLY THAT IN THE EMAIL.

Okay, fine, whatever.

Fast forward to ten minutes ago when he forwards me an email with zero context.  Just the original email asking about the kinds of jobs we bid on, our bid limit, etc.  Since one of the questions was whether we could provide a certificate of insurance, I guessed maybe that was why he sent it to me.  But, just to be safe, I make sure to clarify and ask if he's looking for a cert or if he wants me to answer all the contractor's questions.  Shocker, he expects me to respond to all of it, even though HE is the estimator.

And yanno, MAYBE SPECIFY THAT IN THE EMAIL?  I shouldn't have to repsond to you and ask what I'm supposed to do.  Or, at least, I don't think that I should!  If I'm doing your job for you, give me that much, please.

I swear to god every day he gets more and more up his own ass.  It took him longer to forward and respond to me than it would have taken him to answer the questions himself.

Anyway, how's your day going?  🤣

And as tax for being a whiner, I give you Da Boiz.



And because I promised sharpiesgal a photo, here is my UT Longhorn beanie baby I got at Bush Intercontinental back in 2008.



Happy Tuesday?

I hate people like that — there's a special place in hell for people who refuse to do the bare minimum and expect you to do it all!

Thank you for the ginger pictures — made me smile!

Joel is such an asshole. If I had the airfare, I'd be out there to show him the error of his ways.

The boyz are getting big.

Love the long horn. He's a cutie.

They are sooo big!

Also that's like the email my principal forwarded to me with the comment of "teachers should put this in their lesson plans"... are you expecting lesson plans from me now? Do you just want me familar with it? This... doesn't actually apply to me.

I'm sorry you are having to deal with his lack of willingness to do his job.

The boys are so cute!
