ClientCo: “Have you a response to our new requirement yet?”

[HairyArsedBloke]

HAB: “What requirements?” Getting worried that he has forgotten something in his dotage.

ClientCo: “We need to cover xxxxx. It was in the document I sent to you before I went on holiday”

HAB: Fair tuliping himself at this point checks the e-mail. “I’ve not gotten anything from you since June”.

ClientCo: “No, you must have it I spent ages doing it before I went away.”

HAB: “Nope, send it again and I’ll get on to it.” Thinking he is in deep trouble.

ClientCo: “Ah, Oh, Er, Em”, muffled handset, but can hear rude words. “Er HAB, I’m sorry. It’s still in my drafts folder. I’ll send it now.”

HAB: “OK”.

Fraking septics. If it was that important why didn’t he make sure I had it before he fraked off to the Hamptons for a month? Come to think of it, why is he back in the office? He told me he wasn’t coming back until after the Labor day holiday. He’s got me worried that I may have an ex-client co soon.

FFS, I'm going to get on a plane and give the septic a

I've been through the requirements three times and couldn't see anything that isn't done already.

So I phone Clientco to find out WTF he is on about and I go straight through to the underling. He says, that client is still on holiday. I say he called me from the office, but underling says nope not seen him. Then he corrects himself and says that client was in when he was at lunch.

I ask what these requirements are about and he says he knows nothing about any requirements. I describe what they are and he says, "But your system does that, I use it to do that every day".

I send the spec to the underling. He opens it and says, "Oh no! I know what has happened. He get a report from me each day and he wants to see it on your system. But he doesn't know that the bits he wants, I take from your system in the first place"

FFS,

Frak it, I'm going for a pint.
