What are your pet peeves?

[Prudence]

Conversation that just occured - interrupting my lunch:

"Someone wants the sole source justification for a WIRB contract created sometime between January and June 2005."

"Okay, do you have some more info about this?"

"No, I just need it right now. I'll wait while you pull it. [I swear she said this verbatim:] It must be in one of your files here." (waves arm in the direction of my file cabinet which contains completely unrelated files.

So, you want the sole source justification - which is entered on line and can be retrieved only by entering the PO - which you don't have.

You don't even know which of the approximately 150 budgets I have records on it's for.

AND, it's from last biennium, which is about 4 budget analysts ago and I'm still trying to track down records for the first 1/4 of *this* biennium?

AND, assuming I could find the proper budget for the proper time frame, you don't have any particulars like item description, amount, anything?

Sure, let me just grab that one for you.
