Proposal countdown
It is now D-6:45. I have been working since 7 p.m. after a 4.5-hour sleep. Drank a B-complex energy shot a little while ago. Almost everything of mine is done (though some printing remains)... the two guys that have been working on pricing all night are STILL working on pricing, which is about as ridiculous as it gets. As the proposal manager I should be able to send them for reeducation in Siberia for this, but I'm fairly sure my recommendations will fall on deaf ears. Or rather everyone will go, "Rahr rahr, lessons learned, do better next time!" and promptly unlearn any possible lesson.
I have been asking the entire team for a couple weeks who is actually going to deliver this thing to Man Asses by 2 p.m. today. The Division head, Bug Doldrum, emailed me last night three obnoxious things in a row: 1. I'm going to bed now. 2. It's the account manager's responsibility to get the prop delivered (the account manager works out of Splatcom's Richmond office). 3. I'm not going to be in tomorrow. Fourth obnoxious thing was when my boss Oguk discovered that Bug's Gantt chart for the project took installation into bleeding DECEMBER, when the RFP stipulated completion by end of August (it's a school system, after all; they want it all in place before the kiddies come back). So Oguk has spent the last few hours redoing Bug's work from scratch, because of course Bug never puts anything on the network drive.
Rahr rahr, lesson learned: Swat Bug.
