time to vent, get excited!

so every now and then we get calls requesting accounting information on our clients, usually because the productions are trying to pay our clients. i used to be able to provide all of this to them because it was all listed in outlook. due to new security stuff, they took out the id #'s and whatnot and only accounting had access to it. well today i got a call, so i passed it to the girl next to me who is the client's accountant. well she listens to the message and it goes a little something like this:

G: ::giant heaving sigh:: This call isn't for me, you shouldn't have passed it. That's for you to handle.
K: ok, well I CAN'T handle it because I don't have access to the information, only you guys do.
G: ::giant heaving sigh:: well that's not right, i shouldn't be having to do this for you. i'll talk to lauren and see if you really don't have access.

(oh, i'm sorry because i'm so lazy i've resorted to LYING about computer access simply to avoid reading off a string of numbers and words to this poor man on the phone? IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD YOU CRAZY B)

K:...ok. well let me know.
(10 min later)
G: Well I guess you don't have access. (SHOCKING!) but i reminded her that that's not how it's supposed to be so she's going to grant you access. so i'll do it THIS TIME, but then you have to.
K: (jesus fucking christ it's not heart surgery) ok! sounds good!

(3 hours later)

The guy called again to say "hey...so...nobody called me back". so i put him on hold and ask if she can just handle it now.

Which, by the way, why have you not called him back? Were you too buys reading your fan fiction online? Did you get caught up in an imagined romance between Buffy and Xander? Are they having little nerdy slayer babies? Or was it when you were on the phone with your sister talking at length about Disneyland while also yelling across the cubical to ask me when it opens when I was trying to take notes on a conference call? Because you're right, I really should be more aware of how snowed under you are with work. It's just unfair of me. Silly me.

G: ::BIG HEAVING SIGH:: hold on.

(holding)

(still holding)

(has she forgotten we're holding?)

she hands me a document and says "you can do it".

OMG WHY IS THIS SO HARD AND PAINFUL FOR YOU???
So I go through the w-9 with him like a retard going uhhhh is that the thing in Part 2? He was very nice and thanked me for helping me even though he knows it's not my job. Ha.

Anyway. I was frustrated. Thank you blogger.
