I almost lost it!

Dateline - Rochester, NY - I am not really sure what happened today. As I entered the customer and was about to go into the owner's office, one of the workers came in and shut the door and they started going at it.

Now, that's the way to start a day!

Or actually, it was just a precursor for what was in store. I have to admit that this wasn't a particullarly hard day until about 4. At that point, I just got tired of trying to push a string UPHILL!

I am the first to acknowledge that there is usually more than one way to get a task done correctly. But if you are going to ask me for my help on such a mundane task as having me call out a 57 page report line by line and then making changes in the system, don't ask me what you did wrong (I wasn't there when you made the entries)and when I tell you how to correct the situation, don't take the 30 step way to do it (when I have repeatedly shown you the 2 step way)! And while I am happy to create a flow chart of how procedures should go through your organization, at least have enough smarts to not make me actually identify the individual, the basket, and where to put the paperwork and at what times of day you should be getting it.

Thanks for letting me off on a rant here.

Some disappointing or at least challenging news. I got to get another pool guy. My guy isn't giving me the time I need to get the business I am getting done. More stress. Which is certainly never welcomed, but least of all now.

TTFN.
