Re: The cranky thread
I can always tell mine; they're usually the ones that have a Monday as the first or second day. For example, I spent all afternoon today in an in-person and email debate about whether the sales reps should fill out a particular form, or if that's the engineers' job. There's nothing technical about it, the sales reps just don't want to do it and their new manager* is trying to appease them by revisiting this form issue. It's even more pointless than it sounds, because the entire point of the form is to give the ordering department the information they need in order to assign a part number to a new item. That's right--instead of using the manufacturer's part number, my company employs several people for the sole purpose of assigning different part numbers to them, presumably as an offering to the complexity gods.
