asimplechordDear Central Purchasing,
You suck. I turned in all my paperwork on that order BEFORE CHRISTMAS. I'm sorry that there was a fuck-up somewhere along the line that led to my order (which arrived safely, thanksverymuch, and was what I requested) being charged to someone else's account, but YOU made the decision to switch to a centralized system, so I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for matching PO numbers anymore. I put the order into the system and you folks make the mess.
I don't appreciate spending hours chasing mistakes that YOU MADE.
No love,
Me
New post-doc arrives tomorrow. He doesn't speak much in the way of English. I am mildly apprehensive, since I will be the person dealing with him on a daily basis. Also, the Smelly Post-Doc is reaching intolerable levels. Even the PIs have noticed, but no one is certain how to deal with it other than handing him a bar of soap and telling him it's a hygiene thing.
And if I hear one more time that I should have designed an experiment a different way after planning an experiment and then REplanning because the Chief thought it would go better THIS way, I might have to break something. Over his head.
I am still flailing, just in case you were wondering. :D
And in the final fangirl whinge, is FBR's store working for everyone else? I tried to pre-order for Whisper Wars (no shipping, yay!) but my connection times out between PayPal and FBR. It's not a PayPal problem or internet or browser problem, I checked them.
*sings*
MrIris is back from Austin today!
eta: Also, Linkin Park? El Paso as the only date in TX so far? Just FYI, that's as close to Los Angeles as it is to Houston or Dallas. As in, not very close at all.
