Today started well...

Having a super fun time, not.

 

Some badger-knackering, mother-hamstering idiot in finance has sent out a whole bunch of final demands for payment to rafts and rafts of elderly people with my direct line phone number on. Can you imagine how many calls I’m getting from disgruntled family members and confused or irritated elderly people? Thankfully Gill-that-sits-opposite is helping me field them but we are not impressed!

***UPDATE***

Effects of said hassle have now been somewhat mitigated by the arrival of a grovelling apology and a large box of Roses chocolates from the Team Manager responsible! It doesn't make the lack of work done get fixed, but it tastes pretty good!

I suggest setting your voicemail to forward all your calls to the idiot's phone for the rest of the week.

Very tempting, however we have now been bribed with chocolate in quite large quantities!

You just have to love the common sense of somebody who does this sort of thing. And now you get to be the evil woman who won't help them sort out Granny's council tax demand, despite it coming from your office. Any chance you can send out something helpful back, like a "this is the man what did it and here's his address" response letter?

It's worse than Council Tax, it's care payments! However, the arrival of a large bribe of chocolate from the offending team manager has made us all feel rather more positive about the whole situation.

Ouch, not good :(

But chocolate always helps :)
