Happy Birthday $?
The PO's I work with have promised not to give you any more tests today.
So I survived the insanity of another fiscal year end. McTallerton and Box - How are you all doing? We are hearing rumors that there may be a two year budget (well technically a bit less than 2 years) so that would be nice.
Yes, more government fiscal year talk. Boring.

I go into the office late on Thursdays, if I hear anything I'll pass it along. I think whoever takes over as the next speaker will have a heavy hand in what is accomplished.
A customer of mine in Arizona just sent a conference call invite to me for Friday at 5:30 PM to discuss the upcoming holiday demands and service issues. In other words, he wants to get 3 or 4 people from his office to corner me on a conference call and belittle me for a service issue that happened last week. And he thinks that I am going to hang around until 5:30 PM on a Friday to get my *** chewed out.
My desired reply: Listen you ***hat, your company's requirements are ridiculous, bordering on illegal. I have to send every shred of communication to 20 people because nobody there has the intelligence or stones to take ownership of a simple thing as an E-mail. The only reasons our service level is at the current "acceptable" (by your standards, mind you) level is because I know how to manage the details on my end. Furthermore, we could drop your puny little insignificant account and not miss a beat.
I decided to play it PC and request for a time to meet next week instead. I hate having to edit myself at work.

Cooler if your customer had been in Wichita I would have believed it was my former employer. They loved to screw the supplier base and then ***** when no progress was made.
Maybe if you paid them or gave them a good design we could hit some damn deadlines.

Deja vu..... we just had a call similar to this with one of our clients. God forbid we run within the FMCSAs legal standard transit guidelines....
It's just a continual thing with them. They represent such a tiny amount of my business, but they scream the loudest, even though I meet their expectations, but don't exceed them. It's like a friggin kindergarten report card, and I'm getting very close to achieving a "does not play well with others".
