if you need something doing...
...do it your effing self.
Tuesday: "Boss, we're running out of welding wire for the TIG. And the next size up we only have 308, not 316L."
"Okay. I'll order some. What size?"
"1mm. Maybe some 1.6mm."
Wednesday: "Yeah, really running low on wire now. Did you order it?"
"No. I'll do it now. What did you want?"
"1mm 316L. And maybe some 1.6mm, too."
"Okay."
Wednesday afternoon: "Ordered my wire?"
"Oh, no."
::watches him note down on a piece of paper:: "You've only put 1.6mm on there. I really want 1mm. 1.6 is a bonus, but not essential."
"Right."
::watches him write down '1mm/1.6mm 316L stainless TIG wire' on a sheet of paper::
Thursday morning: "Is that wire due in today?"
"Yes. Although...they haven't sent me an invoice yet..."
::goes off to check, returns:: "Yes, later today."
:)
Thursday afternoon: "Wire's here!"
::checks:: "Umm...so there's 2.4 and 1.6 here. You ordered 1mm, right?"
"Isn't this what you asked for?"
::headdeskheaddeskheaddeskheaddeskheadde
"1mm, I wanted. Don't worry, i'll use 1.6. Fine. But that 2.4? We will never, ever have a use for that. How much was it?"
"eighty quid."
"Yeah, can you see if they'll swap it for 1mm?"
::some time later:: "You're right, I did order it wrong. It wasn't what you asked me for. My fault."
"I KNOW IT'S YOUR SODDING FAULT!!!!!" (okay, I didn't say that out loud. My eyes said it though.)
