Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 01/04/19> Let me tell you about AH and why he is lucky.

I mentioned yesterday...

I mentioned yesterday that I work with some idiots and I still hold that out to be the truth. I also work in a place that has a lot of nepotism so that can make things even more difficult. Thank the Lord I am leaving in the not too distant future because there is one young man there that can just drive you up the wall. He also happens to be the son of one of the vice presidents of the company.

I would call him by his name or his nick name but since I am good guy, I will just refer to him as “AH” for the purposes of identification in this Daily Dose.

Say what...

Say what? No, no, … those aren’t his initials. Well they are his initials in a way, those initials stand for “ass hole”. Please pardon my French there. So he will be known as AH for today, and the rest of his life as far as I am concerned. AH writes work orders, does purchase orders and is responsible for invoicing for the service technicians so I have to work with him but at least not in the same location, he is in San Antonio and I am in Houston.

Back in the...

Back in the first week of December I gave him a customer name, location and customer PO# and told him to order a renewal of their subscription to the data services for the customer’s irrigation computer service. Clean simple deal, all neat and tidy. Thursday I get an email from the customer saying that they are “locked out” of the service.

The customer was...

The customer was not a happy camper, I had given AH all the information he needed in order to take care of it and he dropped the ball. That email I got was CC’d to people at the factory and other upper management inside our company. I picked up the phone and called AH and asked him what the hell happened. He told me hid the order and placed the PO with the vendor and he would have to look into it.

Before he got...

Before he got back to me one of the upper management got it figured out and got things rolling, so I texted AH back and told him to never mind and that Adam had taken care of it so there was no need to email the order again. AH had guzbucked up and sent the PO to the wrong division of the vendor and it never got forwarded to the correct division, even though I had given him explicit instructions on which division and the contact person to send it too.

I sent him...

I sent him that text at 11:09 AM and he never replied back, but at 11:25 AM I see an email he sent to the vendor acknowledging that he knew Adam had already sent the PO# but he just had to get involved and try and cover his rear end. This "AH" asked all kinds of ridiculous questions “about going forward” on how to handle things when ordering from them when he knows we are no longer representing the product and haven’t since December 15th. I made that point clear to him that it had be done before the end of business on 12/14/18 which was a Friday because we would no longer be able to order from that division.

That little fiasco...

That little fiasco is common with AH from what others have told and if I had decided to stay at this company I would have to work him daily over the phone and through email; no thanks. So far I have one interaction with him and it was a giant guzbucked deal.

The other service techs can’t stand the guy and I can see why, he can take the simplest thing and screw it up because what others have told me is he asks too many damn questions. So instead of just doing what is asked they think he confuses himself trying to be important by asking 20 questions when the reply should be “I’ll do it.”

AH should feel lucky...

AH should feel lucky that he is in San Antonio because if I were in the same office with him he would have gotten a taste of my anger on Thursday. I had my day all planned out and he guzbucked the whole day for me, well maybe not the whole day but at least half of it.

My plan was to go in early, open the blinds on the office and watch it rain until the skies cleared up and at the end of the day close the blinds and go home. I had a contingency plan to make a second pot of coffee in case others drank more than normal and I did have to implement that too. So I was already doing more than I wanted to do. The worst part was with all that crap going on I missed the 11:00 AM poker game on Scorumpoker.com .

They can't expect...

They can’t expect me to sit in that office all day and just do nothing but that is what they want me to do. I feel like the old Maytag repair man who never got calls for repairs, that was pre-computer appliances days, not now. Maytag appliances screw up as much as any other brand now from what I have been told.

So, AH really needs a good ass whipping but I will more than likely never make it to San Antonio before I quit so he is safe I guess. In my resignation letter though I will mention that one of the reasons I am electing to leave is because I can’t afford a life sentence for premeditated murder at this stage of my life and if I tried to stay and work with him it would only be a matter of time before a jury would have to decide my fate.

Being that today is Friday, this is when I would normally start about thinking who I would be selecting for the Saturday SBI give away but since I will no longer be doing those Saturdays I will have to find something else to think about. My apologies for getting this Daily Dose out later than usual, Microshit Word decided it needed to "repaginate" the Daily Dose last night just as I was getting ready to throw it on the blockchain and I'll be damned if I didn't fall asleep.
Until next time,
@sultnpapper
