Title: I hate people Post by: BANGKOK RED on Friday, June 12, 2009, 06:26:58 ***RANT ALERT***
So head office in Shanghai want a breakdown of the upcoming costs for visas for the rest of the year, OK fair enough. So we reply explaining that only one person needs a new visa at a cost of x each time (The rest of us are sorted). That person has to renew their visa twice more before the end of this year and so therefore the total forecast cost is 2x... Simple right......... No. THEY WANT A FUCKING TABLE, THEY WANT A FUCKING TABLE on an excel sheet outlining the above and so this afternoon I have to completely waste my time spending 10-15minutes knocking up a fucking 2X3 excel table because the cunts in H.O. are so fucking anal. I know it's a little thing but it is so fucking stupid that it is infuriating. I want BEER. Title: Re: I hate people Post by: Bennett on Friday, June 12, 2009, 06:34:30 it's ok BR, have an e hug

Title: Re: I hate people Post by: land_of_bo on Friday, June 12, 2009, 07:51:37 I think you could have done the table in the time it took you to rant. Bad time management that.

I feel wrong that this made me laugh. Title: Re: I hate people Post by: @MacPhlea on Friday, June 12, 2009, 13:42:11 I know you frustration BR - Senior Management would have a meeting and decide they want some info from the business units so they would all walk out having taken comprehensive notes and then each design a spreadshit to send to the BU's - BUT - because we're corporate IT, we would get a spreadshit from each of them to complete for BU's data and, of course, each was different and each would want it by yesterday... cunts, the lot of them.
Of course being the clever cunt I am, I collated all the data I sent and received in a relational database so I could pull it out with a simple sql statement and made myself look good by sending it straight back in what ever format they wanted :D I call them spreadshits coz that's all they're good for Title: Re: I hate people Post by: chalkies_shorts on Friday, June 12, 2009, 20:42:35 Why the fuck did it take you 10-15 minutes?
Title: Re: I hate people Post by: Lumps on Saturday, June 13, 2009, 00:08:37 He knows he's spent more ime bitching about it than he did actually doing it right?
Couldn't have taken more than 5 minutes unless he had his hands tied behind his back. Title: Re: I hate people Post by: BANGKOK RED on Saturday, June 13, 2009, 03:33:45 It's wasn't the time spent, it was the principal.
Anyway, I delibiratley (Can't spell that now) spent over 30 minutes doing it to make it sarcasticly (cant spel that either now) nice and flowery. With faqncy equations and stuff. My aim was to send themm something stupid enough to embarass them into not doing ti again. i liek to think it might have worked bu t I ain't counting ion it.
