I've been asking a client for a purchase order for on order they placed for 4 days. She sent me the signed quote. They she sent me her signed order. But no PURCHASE ORDER. Every time she sends something she says, "Here you go...sending you what you requested". And I'm all, like, NO BIOTCH....I want a freaking PURCHASE ORDER. I just sent her another email after receiving the signed quote for the 5th time that had purchase orders from past orders attached saying, "see this? THIS is what I need". She's supposedly a branch manager. I'm EARNING my long weekend, for sure.

I'll throw in my work vent, since it is similar to y'alls:
I am leading a group of folks on a site visit in Seattle week after next to an elemetary school. The head of the group that is visiting has asked me every possible detail WAY ahead of time, but she will not answer me as to how many people are coming on the visit. It could range from 3-20. This is screwing up all my plans. Every email back is asking another question, and I always respond with asking how many people?! If she doesn't know, just tell me that!
I was talking with DH and I told him that I would like to do the sister wives thing, except modified. Basically, I would choose the "wives" and they would each have a job. There would be a cleaning wife, a cooking wife, a potty training/diaper changing wife, a grocery shopping wife, and so on and none of them would have any relations with my/our husband except for me. Dh wouldn't go for it. I had all sorts of reasons why this would be a good idea but nope, nothing. Oh well, I guess I will now try to find another way to get a cleaning lady, chef, nanny, personal assistant, etc.
Whose that Spartan in my teepee? It's me! It's ME! NATIVE AMERICANS!
LOL. DH agreed to learn a cheer or two, simply because we know our friends will be expecting it. And I will awkwardly hang from him/practice poses beforehand and I am pumped about this.
This is awesome! I totally love old SNL skits. The Spartan cheerleaders and Celebrity Jeopardy! were my favorites.

Annoying. My whole day is going this route. This is why email blows. I've started making way more phone calls b/c I cannot deal with people who are bad communicators/can't read. One of the reps flat out told me "well, I can't be expected to read EVERY email I get". Um yes, if it is from someone you work with....you have to. It's not like I'm sending her email chain letters. We need to freaking get stuff done!

I have a vent.
Technology is great and keep us from having to talk to people in person and on the phone, but sometes you actually need to pick up the phone and call people.
Circumstances where picking up the phone is essential is when you move up and appt by three hours, so that I do not see that the appt was moved up until after the fact.

So I walked into my boss's office and he just said "I like what you've done with that! (waving his hand gesturing to my top and necklace) You look like one of those Japanese people."
