Chillis

They're doing that all different sizes thing again and I don't know what the purply one (top left) is up to at all.

Another Monday beaten back - in the office for 7 only to be greeted by an E-Mail that said "You're on your own today - every one else is either at home or on holiday." 

My first thought was "do I have any ice lollies? It'll be a quiet day then."

And it was for the most part.

Although I did have an odd telephone chat this afternoon.  Bloke had asked a team to implement a piece of software.  He got an E-Mail back saying - all done.  However now 2 weeks later he's been told that the program doesn't work.

The reason for this was quite simple, the program was never implemented.  He wanted me to tell him why the other team hadn't done what they had said they had done.

Now call me old-fashioned, but wouldn't it make more sense to call up the other team, who have nothing to do with me, and ask them why they hadn't done what they said they had done - rather than ask me, who had nothing to do with the whole procedure and isn't the manager of any team?

All I could tell him was "No, the program hasn't been implemented and I can't find any trace of them trying to do that.  Ask them to do it again."

So if you would like a non-answer to questions that I can't possibly answer, feel free to ask in the comments.  I expect a litany of questions like "why does my child not eat carrots?" "Why do people in Mercedes drive like they own the road?" "Why will millions of people vote for Donald Trump?"

My answer to every one of these will be "Ask them - they have nothing to do with me."

And if experience is anything to go by, you'll ignore my answer and ask the same question over and over again.

Sorry if that comes across as being a bít ranty, but sometimes it does one the power of good to vent.

Now, where are my ice lollies :-)
