N. called. They had a workstation with two ip addresses, which caused all sorts of problems. (Two cards: but our "auto-detect" stuff only works if there's just one.) So I walked her through getting the ip address (unfortunately, both interfaces were retrieving an ip address, so we had to us ipconfig and with our luck the poor person will have it fail later when their ip changes), and inputting our settings so it would use just that one, and it was all fine.
Then I sent a query email to someone who can help me with the questions I can't answer confidently, and went to finally get my cider. I have my cider, and have prepaid for lunch, which I will pick up in 45 minutes. (I could have gotten it now; however, I will get a test page in the next half hour and I prefer not to have my lunch interrupted by it.)
I got back to find my juniormost team member had to field a call from a project manager who wanted to know Who Are You And Why Did You Bill Hours To My Project.
Next time, lady, read your frickin' email. Like, the one I sent marked urgent, high-priority, last Monday, telling you I needed your feedback on items, that the items would be billed to the project, and that, absent any instructions to the contrary, we would begin later that week. Notice that, next to each item, I gave you the name of the person who would be working on it. Notice that the guy you were just demanding "who are you?" of was mentioned on over half the items, by his full name.
Good. Grief.
