The Original Talking Machine

Friday was just one of those days that make you go hmmmm. I am a documentation manager for my company. Which means I create and issue docs for the production floor. I routinely handle requests like below all the time.

Cast of Characters:

Emp1 - Quality co-worker
Emp2 - Production co-worker
Emp3 - Planning co-worker
Emp4 - Document co-worker
Docmgr - Me
Otrmgr - Other manager
pkmgr - floor manager
Bossman - my director

"the document" - the paperwork that I was to generate

Blue italics are my after comments


8:21am - get email from Emp1

Can you please prepare these "the document"? I don't need to answer this - it just gets done but I was working on another job at the time. I have never gotten a request from this person as it is Emp3 responsibility - I was not informed of when this was required.

10:20am - get email from Emp 2

Can I please have the number for "the document"?

10:29am - I email Emp2 with the requested information Documentation usually follows (but I was working on another job)

( And then the crazy begins )
