A few weeks ago we told another part of the organisation we needed to test the interface between their system and our new one
discussions were had and they declared they knew what was needed.
On Monday we said we were starting our testing and they said they were ready.
On Tuesday at 11 I sent the contact an email saying "here is the message we want sent from your system to ours". He replied saying he would pass it on to Idiot1 (not his real name) as his team would be running the test.
Hours pass.
I email asking for an update.
Hours pass. I email again.
An hour passes. I get an email from Idiot1 saying someone on his team will *try* and run it today.
an hour passes. I go home.
I come in this morning to an email which is from Idiot2 (not his real name) responding to the long email chain with a word document of "results" and a note that he won't be in after today. The results are unrelated to the message they were asked to send us. The message they were asked to send us has not arrived. The barely decipherable message in his word document has not arrived either. Apparently nobody there has a functioning brain and phonecalls either go unanswered or the person is not at their desk.

No, I'm not annoyed at all.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

Sorry I needed to vent
I'll spend the rest of the day talking about obscure surf punk groups and getting hopped up on goofballs or something.
