AMEN

No...no...no, you have it all wrong. You don't swear to Cthulu, you just offer up the luser to Cthulu so that you may gain back some sanity

[mathsnerd]

That's right, you *sacrifice* the luser to Cthulu and then he smiles upon you and your insanity will abate slightly.

Well, obviously, the part where it's not done yet.

Don't you understand how important this is? Obviously it'll get done faster if they just interrupt you more... right?

So, when will it be done?

Calling on his name three times summons him. I admire you for insisting on a backup already.

I understand ................

I had this "Employee" call me then email 4 times then his manager called my manager to find out when "Employee" was getting his new laptop!

ARRGGGHHHHHHHH

He's already got one this is just an update WTF is it that hard to understand "I'll let you know when it's done" !

I then had to email my manager explaining why he hasn't got it yet, ermmm could it be because it took him a MONTH to decide on the spec then we have a ten day delivery then a day or two to configure and get it to said Employee?

WHEN IT'S DONE I'LL TELL YOU !!!

"Hi, caller. Oh, you want to know if it's done? Well, it would have been done by now but I keep being interrupted by this guy phoning to ask if it's been done, which makes me have to stop what I'm doing, put my tools down, and come answer the phone. What do you think I should do about that - should I just stop answering the phone when he calls, or should I offer to call him up the moment I'm finished?"

[geekgrrl-ca.livejournal.com]

Put him on hold for long times "while you go check on it's status" when he calls. then pick up the phone and blast an air horn into it.

I think it's a case of a mix-up of pronouns.

I had one of those yesterday. She called every half hour, and, due to us being a staff of 5, and I'm the main phone-monkey, got about 50% of her calls. She knew us all by voice by around 3pm.

Cthulhu will come and get the luser in His own time...
