There’s trouble in the group chats.
#workskeet

This is why I don’t join work group chats 🙄

Literally doing three different tasks concurrently right now, and they all keep hitting bumps.

This is not fun.

Just spent 15 minutes trying to figure why this thing was throwing errors, before noticing the batch job to fire it was expecting to be run from a specific drive mapping, and I was kicking it off in a window that had been explicitly navigated to by a full path. FML

Huh. My mouse just died. Like, there was no power and the laser was out. Replugged into the USB slot, and nada.

And then it just came back on. Very weird.

90% of the issues with my job would be avoided by someone making a phone call or emailing me. BUT NO!! They wait around refusing to communicate and now they are behind and will have to work the weekend to catch up and send me an accurate and up to date model. #workskeet

I work with a town planner who never, ever, ever, ever answers his phone.
The level of frustration this causes me when trying to help him with something is immense.
Don’t be this guy, answer your phone when someone who is trying to help you calls.

Oh joy, the AI bot running the accounts for a pseudo-government department has decided I haven’t paid an invoice and will lock me out of the system.

This week alone, two jobs have gone over budget because people can’t read a fracking instruction and follow basic procedures.

Me: I can’t find your field notes.
Young professional: I didn’t do any, it’s all recorded electronically.
Me: Can you tell me what you measured to here ?
YP: I’m not sure, I’ll have to go back out and check.

It would be really helpful if the new admin person actually read my instructions.
Is not reading instructions a Gen Z thing because, frack me, none of the ones here do 😡
#workskeet

Why can’t people follow fracking instructions ?
The whole point of clear written instructions, complete with checklists, is to ensure nothing is fracking missed.

Related: Stuff has been fracking missed 😡

You’d think a new starter would be particularly careful about the first thing they send me to check and sign off on.
But not so much, the numbers don’t even add up #FFS
