Wait! Do You Think I Think That's An Emergency?
It might be Monday. My usual attitude is, well, see the minion photo below.
Today, however, I pull up my email and find an email from yesterday (okay I saw it on my phone last night but didn't really read it). Now per my check of the calendar - yesterday was Sunday and nobody has ever told me that I need to check email for costing requests on the weekend. Hand on, let me backup. Said request is not from one of my people. Oh no. The cost accountant (someone I helped train) for another plant left in early January. I'm covering their costing. This is the third time I've handled costing for that plant. I've reached a point of 'my way IS the highway.' with them. (because I'm big, I'm bad, I'm the senior cost accountant and ya'll have to replace this same position for the third time). Okay back to the story. So there is a Sunday costing request. Before 8 am this morning someone in customer service is emailing me to get this costed. Now, customer service is located on the other side of the small town I work in. I'm glaring at the email thinking - I know where you work, don't make me drive over there. Because I will. I take are of the costing. Send the obligatory costing done response. And send a second response to huffy CR person stating costing done and hey just got that request this morning (because if you think I'm counting seeing an email header on my phone last night, think again - by the way that is my personal phone and my work email is on it due to 2 years of back and forth with Mom).
I then take care of other costing requests. Take care of my morning costing for my facility. Double check other outstanding issues for the other plant. It's all done minus 2 questions about stuff at my facility (boys, do we need to review the process for reactivating items?) Now, the next question is are my bosses in today?
