Klutch.xls: please, klutch, don't hertem!


This is why I often cry myself to sleep at night. I will set the stage, give you the details, and hope that you, gentle reader, can understand my frustration. Here goes:

1. Organization I work for is planning an event.

2. Everyone in the free world knows that the box of extra invitations is sitting on a desk in my office. No joke. OMG!!!!11!! EVERYONE KNWS THIS!!!11!!1!

So . . . employee A goes to employee B and says "So-n-so" never got an invitation! Get them an invitation FOR TEH LOVE OF TEH PASSION OF TEH CHRIST!!!!1!!!1!!

employee B calls employee.xls to say "WHY NO INVITE FOR SO-N-SO???!?!?!???! OMG!!! PLEASE HAVE employee C SEND IT!!!"

employee.xls looks in the database and discovers that there is no address for So-n-so. employee.xls considers this a valid reason for So-n-so to not receive an invitation, considering employee.xls's SQL query very clearly does not include peeps WITH NO GODDAMNED ADDRESS!@!!!1!!!! xls informs employee B of this newly discovered detail.

employee B tells employee.xls to get the address from employee A give it to employee C and ask them to put it in the FARKING MAIL!!!!1!?!!!!112@!


o.k. if you have been keeping count with me, the mailing of a simple invitation took about one (1) hours worth of work from four (4) different people.

Oh yeah, and this is about as mentally stimulating as my job ever gets.

This is why I often cry myself to sleep at night.
