Thank you, everyone at work, for making today go as smoothly as possible.
I know I sent out countless emails last week letting you know that certain parts of the System would be down today and that there was nothing I, or anyone in the building could do about it.
And still you called. You called me all day. You asked me questions that had already been answered time and again. You assumed that I had some super secret special access that did not exist and acted lilke petulent children when I told you that, like the laws of physics, some things can not be changed.
Some of you pouted, some of you got angry, some of you were merely confused.
All of your questions were already answered. Answered on Thursday or Friday. But you didn’t read those emails. You admitted as much in exactly those words. And you laughed about it, as if I write informational emails simply because I have nothing better to do.
So thanks, coworkers for making today a finely coreographed waltz of…. naahhh, fuck it…
It was a mosh pit of ignorance, a conniption fit of I-want-it-my-way now.
Even when your way simply wasn’t possible.
And you should have known that.
