Definition: Stupid, inconsiderate sales reps. May their balls summarily fall off.
I like to sleep in. It's the nature of one who is nocturnal to sleep during the sunlit hours, and fly by night. Thus, getting up early in the morning is not my favorite thing.
I got up early this morning, earlier than normal, to go to an earlier than normal training session. I usually schedule my sessions at 10am. This gives me ample time to wake up and avoids bathroom conflicts with my two roommates, one who leave for work before 8, the other who leaves before 9. In my grand scheme, this provides perfect morning harmony for me.
Someone scheduled a 9am session today and I had to disrupt my routine. Shit happens, work isn't called work without reason. So I got up a extra early, waited until roommate two was finished and out the door, and I jumped into high gear and got myself ready and out the door.
I walk into the customers office and I am told that they thought someone had cancelled the session, because the machine was broken and being sent back for replacement.
"Oh" says I.
It seems the sales rep, who had setup the early morning session, had failed to contact me to let me know this rather important detail. Said sales rep is, in my humble opinion, a total jackass at the best of times. At this given moment, I equate him to the gooey substance found on the back of a decaying toad corpse.
I am aggravated, hear me roar.
Addendum: I have to eat a little bit of crow... the guy actually called last night and left me a voicemail saying it had been cancelled... and he apologised in the voicemail for not letting me know sooner.. quote: "sorry, I fucked up, it's been a hectic at work and I'm in the middle of a move" Now, like I said, I'll eat a little crow here... but the guy is still a fucktard and he did call after hours. I'm dedicated to my job, but I don't check my voicemail after hours, and certainly not first thing in morning. I check it twice daily, at noon and 4:30. And he did know for days. So I'll take a little tiny bit of the blame for this one, but I'm still aggravated. Hiss. Meow. Purr.
