And I threadjack your threadjack.Quoth notalwaysright View Post
Years ago I worked a job where we got paid every two weeks. We were allowed to buy things and have the cost deducted from our pay. We weren't supposed to exceed $40 per week, but more seriously not to exceed $80 per pay period.
I had a co-worker who would ask me, near the start of the pay week, if this week goes with next week or last week.
I explained several times that I didn't know because I didn't care: I paid my bills at the beginning of the month so which weeks had paydays didn't really matter to me. And I stayed under $5 per day which kept me under $40 per week and that kept me under $80 per period.
I also explained how to work out the answer: because there was a 1-week delay in pay, we got paid on the last day of the first week of the next period. So if we got paid yesterday, this week goes with last week. And if we didn't get paid yesterday, this week goes with next week. I explained this three weeks in a row as I worked out what the correct answer was.
After that, if she asked me I would say "I don't know" and walk away.Comment

Ugh....so the guy who was ordering these manuals put in his two week notice.
Guess who is now ordering the books?
She just put in two orders. One for 400 books, and one for 100. At 1:45PM, and the due date is today at 5PM. "NEED ASAP!!!" sayeth the ticket.....
That is so not happening.
Oh, and one of the orders has no files attached

Making that many copies of a book, in 3 hours, without the content? Yeah, good luck with that, ditz.

She just dropped six more orders in the queue, and wants all of them by the end of the day Monday 9/16. This on top of the giant orders she put in yesterday.
No specs provided or files attached to ANY of the six orders. This time, she just posted the same PO - with six line items - six times, once for each book.
Oh wait....I'm on vacation starting tomorrow. So I DON'T CARE!!!!

I'd send the orders back, CC (or BCC) her boss-folk with a few polite queries/reality reminders. Still, maintaining some sort of SPECIFIC documentation (for easy reference) when she's involved will save time and hassle when the excrement starts impacting the various rotary impellers. When the supers start making inquiries about why the impossible deadlines didn't happen, just drop the whole file on 'em with no further explanation.Comment

She just blew up the queue with more orders. All due within a week. My co-worker who will have to take the lead on these is having a conniption.

I'm a fan of S&W, too, and I have been for awhile. I even ended up with a spare copy of their book that they just released (apparently a screwup by the printer), and I wasn't the only one."For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.

Quoth YamiNoHime View PostQuoth Jay 2K Winger View Post Hell's big enough to subdivide. You can each have a big, ornate throne in a sizable section, and there'll still be plenty left.
Oh, well, that's easy. "ASAP" means "as soon as possible" (not "immediately" as some folks seem to think). So you will deliver them as soon as possible. If it takes several weeks to complete the order, you still did it as soon as possible.Quoth Dave1982 View Post"NEED ASAP!!!" sayeth the ticket.....
I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
