andyb5 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 what is that morisville? i forget if that is where you go! it snowed here in cuse too... and my car is still here I'm in Troy. And the forecast is for more snow tomorrow. Kinda glad I don't have a car right now, so I don't have to worry about clearing it off. I do have a nearly new set of snow tires at home ready to go though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdimag Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 What I have been doing for several months now is letting some time go before I respond. Often times he changes the question, 'discovers' something on his own (wow, what a concept!), and allows me to actually get my work done. I have been copy-pasting all previous emails in to all of my replies, saying something to the effect of see below, see previous reply, do you have any questions about my previous reply because I already answered it, etc. Autoreponder would be sweet, but there is no way I could reliably develop a ruleset for it. At least, not in a way that wouldn't get me in trouble. Ya, figure that one out. print the manual; hand deliver. next time he asks a question, the answer should be in the form of a page number. I realize this will be more work up front, but it has potential to pay off... it may also feel good annoying him while doing nothing wrong.

greekone Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Cable guy showed up to install the new box, saw 4 Volvos in the driveway and asked if I race Volvos. Saw the dual exhaust on my S70 and said he's never seen anything like it. Apparently his mom has a "fast" turbo 850. lol Thought I'd share, put a smirk on my face......

Fudge_Brownie Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 print the manual; hand deliver. next time he asks a question, the answer should be in the form of a page number. I realize this will be more work up front, but it has potential to pay off... it may also feel good annoying him while doing nothing wrong. He isn't local to me. But the one that really set me off this week about it was doing essentially that. I said its in the manual (link), section 1.2.3. Please reference the step number (1 through 7) you are having trouble with. He responded, and it included nothing about step numbers, he clearly had ignored my suggestion etc. I know, I'm basically snubbing my nose at you guys here after asking for suggestions. Lets say I follow your directions, and he comes over, holding manual in hand, and starts asking questions showing he clearly hadn't cracked the title page.

greekone Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I don't get it. The cars don't look stock, he thought I raced them in some sort of local race series. He's never seen modded Volvos before, just sharing...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can show him the pages in person that you're talking about. He clearly doesn't get it and doesn't want to. If your supervisors/managers are just not caring go above their heads. They won't like it, but this about your sucess in the company. Take control and take some initiative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
