Grossly Overrated...

I dont know what inspired that title...but i like it, so im using it for this entry! ahahaha
^_^

Now that i got that off my chest, im sorta sitting on a blank.

Damn!

I got disrupted while writing this entry...for about an hour...one of the websites wasnt working...IT Manager was in trying to fix it. She is a new manager, its only her 2nd day here...she seems nice...but Harry was more talkative! I'll give her 1 month to settle a little and see how her personality goes from there.

After waiting for files to timeout and resetting passwords and deleting stuff in the cache...the site is up again.

Gee this blog is heading for boredsville...im bored just reading what has been written!

Hmm...let me try to spruce this up a little...

My workmate is really inconsiderate, or extremely pathetic!!!

I have a stack of postit notes on my desk next to my keyboard. On the top page was an important customer's details and the correct contact that i need to speak to. Luckily, im methodological and i wrote all that was on the postit in a comment for this customer's job. The workmate (the bastard) for some reason during my lunch break, took my postit notes and tore that front page off, threw it in the bin, continued to use my postits and kept it on his desk!

Now common sense, if your going to borrow something of someone's...u dont throw things away without consulting them. Albeit, i wasnt in the office, but its a postit note...with writing on it. Normally you would take the top note off, the one with writing and stick it to my monitor? or to my keyboard? or to my desk? to my speakers? to my phone? to anything that u can stick it on!!! AND when i come back in after my lunch - ask me if it was something i needed, and either give the note back to me, or show me where u stuck it.

YOU DO NOT GO AND THROW SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU INTO THE BIN!!!

Apparently, leaving someone's belonging alone does not apply here with that particular workmate.

I was flabbergasted. I wanted to scream at him and rip his head off! When i asked who had taken my postit notes? He held it up and asked "is this yours?" I'm thinking: "Well, shouldnt U know if U took it off my bloody fudgin desk???" I asked where the top page was, as it had an important number written on it? He looked at me and said that it was in the bin!!! He sort of pretended to look through the bin, but he didnt reproduce the postit...FUDGE!

I quickly took the rest back and sat down turned my back to him - cos my desk is slanted away from him anyways...had i said something then and there, i would have really tore his head off!

He goes to the stationary cupboard and grabs another stack! I'm thinking: "Why didnt he do that in the FUDGING first place???" What an idiot! He sits there complaining about a job i resolved for him, cos the Optus girl called to give us an update! She wasnt even asking him any questions and he turned to our manager asking about the job i just resolved and clearly said it was closed now!!! I turned to him and said "So, what exactly does she want to know? I just spoke to the site contact (in which he threw out the number of) and he confirmed that the service was now fine?" I told him, look transfer the phone call to me and i'll speak to her...he is still trying to speak to my manager about it, and my manager who i informed that the problem was fixed was telling him that i closed the job...i ask him again to transfer the call to me and ill talk to the Optus person...i say this about another 2 times and then he transfers the call to me!

All she wanted to say to us, was that the fault is fixed. Service is back up. I told her - "I spoke to site contact, he confirmed that with me already!" So, she was like "Great, lets close the job then!" And we both close it on both ends. I dont know where all the complication came from. The Optus girl speaks fluent english...i've never had trouble understanding what she has tried to convey...i think the workmate has terrible communication skills and he misinterprets a lot of things.

There were other "incidents" that happened. *snicker snarl snort* *grrrr*

Thankfully, i wont see him until a month has passed! WooHoo to the rotating roster!!!
