lateralus's Journal: Typical job scene

This is a typical scenario for my company. A company which is far too large for its own good.

This really happened to me today.

I wanted to know the performance envelope for a LASER device. So I asked the developer that wrote the software. He told me that I should ask his boss. His boss told me to ask another developer. She asked her boss and told me to ask a guy from the physics department. The guy from the physics department sent me to ask another guy from the physics department who immediately sent me back to the first guy from said department. The first physics guy banged the table with his fists and we both went down to see a lady who promptly printed out the document and sent me to get in from a printer down the hall, which did not work. So we both (physics guy and me) messed with the printer until it printed the document.

It was the wrong document, of course.

Be sure to put the wrong cover letter on it. This will ensure prompt contact from the powers that be so you may continue to discuss the problems and no one will listen.
