As part of my job I sometimes have to take on tasks that other people (whose job it actually IS) are too busy to do. I consider this a favor and/or going above and beyond. I am a helper. Generally this means that from that point on they consider it MY job, when it's not, and I continue to do it because I am a hard worker. For the last few weeks this has meant bringing things to a certain part of my building and setting them up for testing. Now, this certain part of my building is generally overseen by a different department, so to be respectful I sent an email asking permission to use this area, even though the person couldn't REALLY tell me no. Like I said, RESPECTFUL. I finished the testing, and a few days later got more products to do this to. Again, I sent another email letting the person know what would be going on. However, this time I went down to do the testing two days later and all 20 of my products were missing? Where did they go? I searched the building, and asked the crew guy where on earch 20 of these products could have run off to, given that they don't actually have legs. I was told by the crew guy that the person who runs the part of the building I had been testing them in asked them to be moved to a different area because he 'didn't want them there'. I told this person that they needed to be tested, and today around 9:30am the crew guy helped me move them back to that part of the building, on a table out of the way, where I had originally been designated space to test them. I ran into the person that oversees that area around 3:00pm and let him know I would be up to unpack and test them soon, just so he could tell me that he moved them... Why? Because that is not storage. I AM NOT USING IT AS STORAGE. I AM USING IT AS TESTING. THAT IS WHY I FUCKING EMAILED YOU THAT I WOULD BE TESTING THEM. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? So I go to that part of the building and see that they have been dragged off of the table in the corner of the room, down the aisle, by the door. WHY? Is being a fucking asshole really worth hauling 20 products across the floor? Do you get a fucking thrill by wasting your time to be a dick head? So I, of course, not only complained about it loud enough for him to hear, I went back into that area, I dragged them all back to the table, I unpacked them, and now they are testing. I then sent a COPY of the original email back to that person and stated that in this email I told him I would be testing them and got no complaint, and that they are now testing and I will be back down to get them when they are done. I also copied some 'higher ups' on the email because guess what? I can be an asshole too. And it takes a lot less effort to send an email than it does to drag 20 products across a room. I would love to see how you reply to the email where the person who told me to do the testing is copied. I bet you won't. Don't fuck with me.
On another note... I spent most of the day with a coworker cleaning and organizing our product storage space. We discovered that a particular person ordered 19 of the exact same product, which my coworker stacked side by side on a 6 foot wide shelf that is 8 feet high and has 4 total shelves. She then took a picture of this and asked the person if we really need all these, to which the answer was yes. They are humidifiers. They are all the exact same humidifier. Is there some fucking emergency DRYNESS coming to wash over our area that is going to make you personally responsible for the moisture in every fucking bedroom in the United States of America? Get a fucking grip.
Now I'm going home to take a fucking bubble bath, drink a lot of wine, lie with my dog, and read a book. I need to start biking seriously if I'm every going to lower my stress levels. Unfortunately my husband has a hockey game all night and I don't venture out alone in the trailer trash section where my house is located. As McDonald's would say "I'm Lovin' It". On a sidebar the new slogan should be "I'm seriously fat as fuck", but that doesn't seem to market as well now does it?
Bye.
