I wonder about people sometimes (okay, most of the time)... I mean, what is it that compels someone to lie about things that are both trivial and easily disproved. What I'm talking about: I get a call at work today from someone who is 2.5 hours late on their order deadline. Okay, they just got in, the buyer that was there didn't have access to their email and thus didn't see the "hey, where's yr frikkin' order" email reminder that I sent, etc. Annoying, but fine whatever, I'll get your order taken care of. But they can't leave it at that. No, that apparently doesn't leave them blameless enough so they add that I forgot to cc: the email to their boss which is another reason why they're calling me at noon-thirty with an order that was supposed to be in at 10am. Wrong! Clearly what they meant to say was their boss hasn't checked email all morning because, hell, even if I didn't remember cc-ing them, there's this thing called a Sent mail folder.
Pointless. So pointless that it wasn't even worth calling them out on their weak sauce.
But I'm happy to bitch about it here and waste a few minutes of your life you'll never get back reading it.
