Alright, wankers?
Back at work today. Not happy about it.

My main piece of work at the moment
is now the centre of a six-way argument over what currently happens and what should happen, as it appears the original requesters view of this is entirely at odds with ours. Extra confusion for there being two things involved that three different parties have different names for, in at least one case Party A's name for thing 2 is Party B's name for thing 1.

So for two days I have done nothing but occasionally toss my two-pennorth into a huge email argument whenever it looks like they might be close to a consensus.

Sounds 'stressful'

you know, sometimes i wonder what life is like working in an office,
And maybe I should pack it all in and a 9to5 man. But then I read things like this, and realise drunk people are far easier to deal with than people who think they're important.

I don't think i could face it,
Ladypig is an office person, and so.e of the stories she tells me of self important wankers is incredible. If someone spoke to me over the bar the way some of the correspondence from people comes across, they'd be out on their ear, but in her environment they just say "they are a client" and take it.

Your individual "clients" probably only contribute a few quid each week to your company.
Whereas in a lot of businesses a single client might make up nearly 10% of the companys yearly takings. If that was the case in a pub, you'd be willing to put up with a lot of shit or you'd go bust in short order.

i suppose you're right,
I take a lot of crap from big bookings. Bend over backwards to accomodate them.
Also, one set of your clients being a wanker won't affect other clients, whereas in a pub, wankers upset the decent customers, so its in my interest to boot 'em out.

Because I am IT
I could, and frequently have been, sitting here with a sandwich in my fucking *mouth* and been asked to do something now because somebody's forgotten their login or some such basic shoe-lace tying level of responsibility. I tell them to fuck off because I'm on my lunchbreak and they get the arse with *me*. How rude.

I knock before I go into the breakroom now.
