The *fun* of contracting - update

I wrote about monitor problems on-site on October 30. Let's see.. by the big calendar on the wall, that is 8 workdays ago. I wasn't going to say anything more about it... was just going to wait for it to die

So here is the actual email transaction this morning:

Admin: "Just get the approval from [snip] and let me know what size you want.  The choices are 19" and 20" aspect (this one is wider)"

Me: "I'd say the 20" if I have a choice, thanks!"

Note I avoided being sarcastic to either her or in this post about why would I choose a 19" given the option and um... do some of the people not realize a 20" monitor is wider? But I digress, and her next response is the killer:

Admin: "Is this OK with management?  "

Now where is the sarcasm font when you need it? How do you possibly answer such a question??

Me: "Well, I sent email to [snip] and [snip] and [snip] called and told me to contact you about it.

If it's not good with management, I'm not sure how to do my job without a monitor :)"

Admin: "I will get it ordered for you :)"

Thank goodness... I thought for a while I was going to have to get that messy implant and plug the video cable into the back of my neck every morning... either that or figure out how to write .NET web apps with pencil and paper!

yes, they walk among us every day... and their vote counts the same as yours and mine... scared yet?
