People who don't do their work irritate me

The design guy told me he would make the changes to the update database. The DBA told me that last night he would apply the changes from the update database to the development database so I could get the programs done in time for the 12:30 meeting.

So I came in at 4:00 this morning to ensure that I could get everything done in time. No big deal, everyone has to do that sometimes.

Except I came in and either the design guy didn't put the changes in the update database or the DBA didn't apply those changes to the development database. So I can't do my work. And I came in at 4:00. So I took a nap on the development couch. I have no idea when the DBA will be in to apply those changes (if they are even there to apply), so I propbably won't have everything done I need to for my presentation.

That sucks.

Bummer. Perhaps you should send the design guy / dba a little thank you present.
