Some mornings are just more fun filled (frustrating) than others.
This morning our manager of outside processing comes over to me, and brings a note from a vendor requesting clarification on some instructions I had given on an order. That's really not unusual, except in this case, the instructions were meant for the manager of outside processing to perform prior to sending to the vendor. It's obvious he didn't read my instructions, and simply copied (CTRL-C) the entire section of the planning document, and pasted (CTRL-V) those instructions into the purchase order that he sent to the vendor.
Then a little later I get a certification to review from a vendor who did some work for us. What is suprising in this case is, this is not the first time this vendor has performed this work for us. Of course you wouldn't know that after reviewing the certification.
Some of the information that is required to be put on the certification is a little confusing, so I have refined the instructions several times to clarify the requirements. You would think that after a dozen times of having to correct the same problem, you would eventually learn what is required, even if the instructions weren't exactly clear, which was not the case. I just don't know how else I could make the instructions any clearer.
It's not like this is the first time I have been confronted by situations like this, but today just got me going. I suspect it might have something to do with the online traffic school course I'm taking, so I can wipe the illegal left hand turn traffic ticket, I received a week or two ago, from my DMV record, and some of the stupid questions that are asked on the various tests.
One of those stupid questions had to do with what a "puck stopper" is in hockey. I always thought a puck stopper was a goalie. I even checked it on the internet, and every site I visited a puck stopper was a goalie, but apparently that wasn't correct. According to the test, a puck stopper is padding to protect players from injuries from being hit with the puck. I must have spent a half hour before I finally changed my answer to that question, in order to get a passing grade on the test. And that question didn't have anything to do with driving or traffic school. Just how stupid is that?
Ok, so those problems are a little petty when you consider all the other problems confronting the world and the US, i.e. health care, social security, immigration, the war in Iraq and even global warming, but I had to get it off my chest anywaze.

And secondly, you-know-who is a neanderthal and always gets what he wants and I don't get it. He causes more grief and then he gets to save the day by suggesting same day delivery on something he made late. Or something else equally as lame.
