I have a lot of autonomy, I do a variety of things all day long, I get along well with my co-workers, I adore my bosses.
And then there are days like today. I think the whole office had PMS. And I found out no one told me they had taken the last C5 envelope (business no. 10 to you US readers) or the last sheet of invoice paper. I apologized to my boss, who said it wasn’t my fault if no one told me, but I still felt like I hadn’t done my job.
Luckily I have a great relationship with my supplier and he ran me over a box of invoice paper. I’ll have the envelopes tomorrow.
And I am still writing the minutes from our Board meetings last week. Which would go a lot faster if certain members of our staff didn’t keep interrupting me to tell me stupid things. Like that his envelope won’t seal. Use a piece of tape, for freakin’ sake.
The good thing I found out today is that most likely I won’t be running our PO system any more. Its being handed over to another person, I hope. It doesn’t take much time, but it does take some time, and everyone wants their POs NOW NOW NOW. Um, sorry, I have 24 hours to issue it, and I’m doing something else right now. Not to forget that THERE’S NO ONE HERE TO SIGN IT, WANKER!
Oh, and that you didn’t follow procedures and if you want a PO for over £500, I need some quotes. Duh, RTFM.
Oh, how I don’t miss my tech/customer support days!
