We received an urgent email from a client this morning that needed addressed immediately. We knew it was not going to be easy or fun so we did the sensible thing and began a rock paper scissors tournament to see who would work on it.

I lost... But then we see a follow up email from my boss saying he is handling it. Win!

Fast forward 6 hours, he comes out of his office and hands me a piece of paper and says he is too busy to work on it so I need to do it before going home. The paper is the email from 8am this morning... He did absolutely nothing with it for six hours except print it because a digital copy isn't good enough I guess.

I ended up working late, got yelled at by said client, and still haven't finished the fixes.

Worst of all is that I missed part of shark week because I stayed late.

    @bubble when the client yelled at me I gave them the bosses cell phone number and said you'll get further with him than me.

    @ryanmhoffman you quixkly realise the managers that have your back and those that do. Unless I see something actually being done and I was going to do something about it... i'll crack on because 100% of the time you'll only find yourself doing it 6hrs later #rant!

    @qbasic16 shark week is a week long program on discovery channel all about sharks! I guess it might be US specific. Sunday night they had Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps race a great white in South Africa!

    @ryanmhoffman oh, thanks for the information!
    I only knew "shark week" as the couple of days or the week when women have their blood bath. 😉

    @ryanmhoffman it started because someone decided the female reproductive organs looked like a shark skull. Lol
