Yes, I made a mistake, now f off

Ok, so we all know at least one person in the office who likes to be the boss' pet, and shit stirs whenever someone else gets something wrong, at least anyone who works will know one... any students reading this will probably know a fellow student who does similar.

Well our one of those people is a Nuneaton based cross dressing German arse-bandit who shall remain nameless.

So, perish the thought that anyone actually be fallible, but it seems that I have failed to live up to his impossibly high standards.

I got an email from my mate in the office, and forgot to delete her comments before sending it to a customer, now it's not like there was anything bad on there, but I admit it is something I should have erased first.

Having sent the email I realised my mistake, and said to my mate that I should've deleted them but hadn't, but what can you do at this point?  Nothing.

So, the customer replies, no problems at all.

Then a couple of minutes later aforementioned freak of nature sends an email to me, my mate, and just has to copy the boss on it because it's another stick to beat us mere mortals with.

I am well aware of the fact that those comments should "NEVER" (capitalisation is from his email) have reached the customer, but do you really have to run off and tell daddy on me you pathetic shit-stirring numpty?!

Seriously, just fucking grow a pair, and if you have a problem with me then talk to ME about it.

Anyway, shouldn't you be busy sending emails to customers from the wrong email account, cos you aint perfect either my friend!!

Rant over!!

Grrr

So, the new car is now back in the garage having the gearbox looked at... which is just what you want in an automatic car... gearbox problems.  From a quick browse around the net I reckon it's a couple of solenoids need replacing, it seems a fairly common issue.  Hopefully it wont take too long to fix as I've not had chance to take it out for a long drive yet.

Anyway, for the time being I am without automobile... which makes Asda's f*ckwittery all the more irritating.

We were expecting a delivery from Asda last night, it was confirmed for between 18:00 and 20:00, we're fairly low on quite a few things, so it would certainly have been useful to have the shopping turn up.

Sadly nobody decided to tell Asda that when we book a delivery slot that we expect them to deliver in it!!

After they were an hour late the missus tried calling customer services, 16 minutes on hold later she gave up, and came seeking my advice... a further 20 minutes on hold later we were through to someone.

So, what useful bit of information did they give us... oh, the delivery has been rejected by the local store, I can't tell you why because there's nobody there now.  Ah... that's helpful isn't it!!

Do we want the delivery rescheduled for first thing this morning... well we work... so no!!  What do we want you to do... cancel the bloody order, and we'll go to Tesco!!

So, we still have no shopping, and the missus has a complaint letter to write to Asda about how bloody useless they are!!  There wasn't even an offer of any compensation!!
