Working Bitching

[unforth]

I'm super busy with work right now, but the client is being a huge pain in the butt. On Friday, he said he'd call me Monday morning. When he finally called on Tuesday morning, he swore I'd hear from him again on Tuesday afternoon. When he finally called on Wednesday morning, he promised to call back on Wednesday afternoon. And 45 minutes ago when he spoke to mom, he said he'd call me 10 minutes.

Clearly, he lives in some sort of bizarre, temporal loop that I'm not a part of. Which is a really pity, since he wants us to write a grant that I haven't started yet, have never done before, and is due in 8 days.

It sounds like you need to less than politely call him up and remind him of what his responsibility is to you, lest he fuck himself hard.

Or I can do it. I have a lot of anger to vent right about now.

I did call him. Repeatedly. Their fricken voicemail system is totally gimped (you enter the extension you need, and a few seconds later it routes you straight back to the root menu), and his cell phone gets shitty reception more or less everywhere. He did finally call me, at 5 PM, and when he did, he said he'd check something and call me back "in a minute." Yeah, that hasn't happened.

Sorry you're pissed. I'm mostly just tired.
