A client is pissed because I don't have a document back. I've asked for programmer input, but because the programmer thinks it's too difficult for her to figure out, she's dragging her feet. It's about 150 pages of coding that they're supposed to use for programming, which I had to figure out how to make on my own because she was too fucking idiotic to figure it out herself.

She keeps coming over with inane comments which is taking me away from finishing the document... not to mention keeps me from posting.

I finally said I can't be interrupted or I'd never get it done. "Just tell them we don't have enough people so you can't get it done on time."

I told her we're not allowed to say that and aren't allowed to use it as an excuse.

"I tell them that all the time."

Yeah, and that's why everyone hates you.

She left and the other programmer came up. "You need to answer the comment from the client." I looked at the comment, and told her to check the client's email from June 25. "Oh, that relates to that?" YES!!! DUH!!! That's why it has THAT STUDY NUMBER on it, and REFERS TO THAT PAGE AND THAT COMMENT.

Brain surgeon.

Not five minutes later she was back in my cube. "What about this other comment?" The client had stated that the first column was missing from an Excel file. I opened the file (which I did not create, btw) and saw that the scroll bar was to the right a little bit. I scrolled it to the left. And wow, there was the column. That was tough.

I know some of it's not that big of a deal, but when the same two people are doing this over and over, despite being told by their manager to figure these things out on their own, and not come to me unless it's something that truly has to do with my responsibilities, I get frustrated. I wasn't even the editor assigned to the study in question and didn't do the original docs, but I inherited it when she left the department.

I'm going to go bang my head against a wall. It'll feel better.

Checks calendar to see when PMS is due to kick in.

Of course, then I'd be bitching about them, too.

Ah, I wondered if this was going to be the case since I was feeling wonky all day.

Massive headache has hit.

I figured the pushy method wouldn't work. Ah well.

Damn, if I knew that was all it took...
