A Ping and a Pong

Do you ever feel like a ping-pong ball?
Getting batted back and forth between two equally menancing foes.

Well, that's been my day today. I had a laborious meeting first off this morning that lasted about 2 hours longer than it should have. That sapped what little energy I had stored up to get through the day with. Now, I don't have the energy to get everything that I need to get done finished.

I've had more interruptions than I can count. I think that I've had 4 or 5 phone calls for varying degrees of customer support in the last hour. Most of them silly, stupid stuff that I really didn't need to be involved in. If they'd just take a minute to look over their work, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Take this one client for instance:
She makes the same mistakes over and over and over again. At least once a week (and three times today, mind you) I get an email rehashing the same problem.

Now, I'm getting phone calls from other people in the office about the same stuff as well.

The problem is simple --> She cannot seem to copy and paste a filename correctly when creating links. If the filename has little letters in it, that means that it won't work with big letters. The order of the the words in the filename *is* important. You can't just make shit up as you go along without some repercussions.

I guess my mood is bitchy and I am short on patience today, especially when this isn't the first time the issue has come up.

Tomorrow is Friday. Payday. The only day worth having with the week I've had.
